Explore 'The Struggle for Development' by Benjamin Selwyn, a compelling analysis that addresses the paradox of escalating global wealth amidst widespread poverty. This critical book challenges the conventional narratives of economic growth and poverty alleviation, revealing how capitalism often exacerbates inequity and environmental degradation. With insightful critiques of development theories—neoliberal, statist, and Marxist—Selwyn emphasizes the need to rethink our perceptions of poverty and wealth. He exposes the flaws in the World Bank's poverty measurement methods and highlights the adverse impacts of global supply chains on vulnerable populations, particularly impoverished female workers.Delve into the transformative concept of labour-led development, which showcases how collective action among marginalized groups—like South African shack-dwellers, East Asian and Indian industrial workers, and Latin American landless labourers—can foster human development. This enlightening read is essential for anyone interested in social justice, economic theory, and the dynamics of capitalist development.
With 208 pages of thought-provoking content published by John Wiley & Sons in 2017, this brand new book is a must-have for students, academics, and activists alike.

Description:
The world economy is expanding rapidly despite chronic economic crises. Yet the majority of the world's population live in poverty. Why are wealth and poverty two sides of the coin of capitalist development? What can be done to overcome this destructive dynamic?
In this hard-hitting analysis Benjamin Selwyn shows how capitalism generates widespread poverty, gender discrimination and environmental destruction. He debunks the World Bank's dollar-a-day methodology for calculating poverty, arguing that the proliferation of global supply chains is based on the labour of impoverished women workers and environmental ruin. Development theories “ from neoliberal to statist and Marxist “ are revealed as justifying and promoting labouring class exploitation despite their pro-poor rhetoric. Selwyn also offers an alternative in the form of labour-led development, which shows how collective actions by labouring classes “ whether South African shack-dwellers and miners, East Asian and Indian Industrial workers, or Latin American landless labourers and unemployed workers “ can and do generate new forms of human development. This labour-led struggle for development can empower even the poorest nations to overcome many of the obstacles that block their way to more prosperous and equitable lives.

My Pittie loves it
Style: Lobster, Size: One Size
Very well made. Both my dogs were so intruiged by the movement, it wore off quickly but they still get into it from time to time (they have tons of other toys to distract them). my 100 lb Pitt mix was the only one who had a big enough mouth to really get it to work on his own but that didn't stop my 35 lb shar pei mix from chasing him around and trying to grab the tail! It has held up surprisingly well... Have had it for over six months and while it's nasty as heck from slobber it is in one piece.

So Disappointed
Style: Squirrel, Size: One Size, Style: Squirrel, Size: One Size
I purchased this godog interactive toy for my 6-month-old puppies for Christmas. The tail didn't move when I removed it from the package but they were so intrigued by the squeaker I gave it to them anyway. The toy didn't even last for a half hour before they had ripped the tail open and were scattering stuffing everywhere. The same thing happened with the leg of the chicken, the tail of the lobster and the wing of the duck. They were all poor quality and couldn't withstand normal puppy play. Additionally, the tip of the squeaker came off and my little dog swallowed it!
I have a godog Llama that survived 2 years with a red-tick coon hound who could chew her way through a wall. The pups have been playing with it since they came home four months ago. It's a bit raggedy and the squeaker honks now, but it's still intact and keeps them entertained. That's the same quality I expected when I ordered these toys. That is why I'm so disappointed.
Sadly, the $5 toys i purchased are still in one piece and still being played and snuggled with.

Was so hopeful!
Style: Lobster, Size: One Size, Style: Lobster, Size: One Size
My dog Dax is like a big German Shepherd trapped in a little Chawinnie. he’s only one and loves to chew on stuffed toys like this. I was excited to try this brand out because it looked very promising. Unfortunately only lasted a little over 48 hours and he was able to gutt it out & rip off the eyes. He really loved it though, it has a different sounding squeaker and when he bit it the tail would flop up/down, I also like that the squeaker part was right in the middle which made it hard for him to get to it since his mouth is small.. despite that he was still able too. The size was perfect for him though so I’ll probably sew it up and give ir back to him then order another one. Giving 4 stars because it’s well made can’t help that my dogs ferocious!

My fur baby loves this toy.
Style: Lobster, Size: One Size
This toy works for my fur baby because she is a small Shih Tzu and not a rough chewer. It has lasted and has proved durable for her but may not be appropriate for an aggressive chewer or for a large fur baby. Because it is made of soft cloth I would not recommend for teething. Otherwise, I found this toy to be reasonably priced and one my fur baby loves to play with.
