: Rich Man, Poor Man...: Industry
Rich countries are industrialised. Poor countries are not. Should the poor be trying to catch up with the rich? Or should we be scaling down our own production and consumption closer to theirs? In this programme - the first in a series of six on the relationship between the rich and poor countries - John Percival argues that the spread of modern industry, far from solving the problems of poverty in the world, actually makes it worse.The programme shows girls in Ceylon thrown out of work by modern machine looms, families in Ghana forced out of their homes by the demands of a big foreign firm, and one of our own unemployed, a skilled tradesman, made jobless by so-called progress. Industry brings its own problems in its train - pollution; the exhaustion of resources; and benefits to the rich at the expense of the poor.

About this project
This site contains the BBC listings information which the BBC printed in Radio Times between 1923 and 2009. You can search the site for BBC programmes, people, dates and Radio Times editions.
We hope it helps you find information about that long forgotten BBC programme, research a particular person or browse your own involvement with the BBC.
Through the listings, you will also be able to use the Genome search function to find thousands of radio and TV programmes that are already available to view or listen to on the BBC website.
There are more than 5 million programme listings in Genome. This is a historical record of the planned output and the BBC services of any given time. It should be viewed in this context and with the understanding that it reflects the attitudes and standards of its time - not those of today.
To read scans of the Radio Times magazines from the 1920s, 30s, 40s and 50s, you can navigate by issue.
