This article addresses the issue of globalisation as ideology through a reappraisal of the ideas of classical political economists and their main critic, Marx. It argues that the spread of globalisation is consistent with the expectations on the likely evolutionary path of the international economy expounded by both the classical political economists and Marx. The essay proposes that the long-standing problems of poverty and underdevelopment cannot be resolved rapidly by the process of globalisation and capitalism. Rather, the immediate alleviation of poverty requires political will to redistribute incomes and assets. However, the article concludes, contemporary institutional arrangements for international trade and investment and the policies of advanced countries are unduly politicised and therefore inimical to the interests of the less organised poor than market outcomes would be. |
