"Responsibility for the coexistence of great poverty beside great wealth rests squarely at the feet of a dominant regional bloc that has fought every effort to expand the parameters of social, economic and cultural justice," Woods wrote. Rejecting dominant explanations of poverty -liberal or illiberal- that blames past trauma, lack of education, risky behaviour or cultural deficiencies... (p. 20) Quite the start.

Went to the book launch with KR & bought a copy with the intent to read it right away. Only got through the Introduction before life got in the way.
I usually skip acknowledgements. This time I read them carefully as I was curious for local colour . It was a very thoughtful & exhaustive acknowledgment, & was glad to see that I recognized a bunch of quality people.
Looking forward to finishing it this time.
