WE HAVE A UNIQUE MISSION


The first issue in 1970 carried an interview


with the President of Tanzania, Julius Nyerere.


He argued that 10 per cent of overseas aid should


be spent on educating the ‘first world’ about


the real causes of global poverty.


We wanted to show that poverty was not the


result of a game of chance. It was caused by a set


of economic relationships, rooted in colonialism,


which enriched a minority by impoverishing a


majority. One way or another, this has been the


message of New Internationalist ever since.
