How do class relations contribute to
processes of capitalist development? Can workers’ struggles generate more
progressive forms of human development, in the form of improved working and
non-working conditions, rising pay and active social movements that bring
workers’ concerns to the fore? Within much thinking about development the
principal debate over the past 30 years or so has been between advocates of
state-led and market-led development. For these advocates either state
allocation and generation of resources or market-efficiency generates a growing
pot of social wealth which trickles down, at some indeterminate point in the
future, to the labouring population.
