Abstract
Since 1982 there has been a net transfer of money from South to North due to debt repayment. The reason for this is political: developing countries have no real decision‐making power, and the rules are set by the rich states. These have insisted that the debtor countries must pay, and have chosen to manage the crisis by structural adjustment packages, contributing to lowered commodity prices and inappropriate agriculture and forestry practices, in turn causing poverty and ill health among the poorest workers. Land reform, an end to South—North resource transfer, and a development philosophy addressing the basic needs of the majority are all needed.
