The Divide by Jason Hickel Summary
Overview of The Divide

核心要点
When Development Became a Four-Letter Word
In 1949, Harry Truman's speechwriters slipped something clever into his inaugural address-a throwaway line about helping "underdeveloped areas" with American know-how. There was no actual plan, no budget, no program. Just words. But those words birthed a story that would reshape how we understand global inequality: rich countries got wealthy through hard work and ingenuity, while poor countries simply lagged behind, waiting for a helping hand. It's a comforting narrative, one that lets us sleep soundly while children starve half a world away. But what if this entire story-the one taught in schools, repeated by charities, and championed by celebrities-is fundamentally backwards? What if poverty isn't a natural starting point but a deliberate creation?
