Inequalities previously tolerated now came to be perceived as intolerable because development generates new inequalities, and because economies cannot grow as fast as acquisitives desires can be unfettered. Consequently, gaps appear between development’s promise and its performance. The dense globalization presently occurring creates new desires and new concentrations of wealth and, derivatively, enlarge gaps between winners and losers. The reason is that market-driven globalization, unregulated by governance systems and institutions, which place economic growth at the service of human needs, serves as the vehicle in inauthentic development. Greenfield’s study provides rich historically grounded detail on how the dynamism of desire becomes supportive of developmental capitalism and capitalist development, now channeled by globalization, which serves as a vehicle for unequal development and for the capitalist spirit.
