Evidence
In contesting Western responsibility for Third World poverty, the men of LSF set themselves against an analysis of colonial exploitation that had played a central role in anticolonialism, dependency theory and French tiers-mondisme in the previous decades. Frantz Fanon’s The Wretched of the Earth epitomised this argument, powerfully insisting that Europe was, quite literally, a product of the Third World. ‘The wealth which smothers her was stolen from the underdeveloped peoples.’ — Jessica Whyte, The Morals of the Market, 392
