Мыслители, исследующие развитие общества, рассматривают в своих новаторских эссе ключевые концепции дискурса развития в послевоенную эпоху.
In this pioneering collection, some of the world’s most eminent critics of development review the key concepts of the development discourse in the post-war era.
Each essay examines one concept from a historical and anthropological point of view and highlights its particular bias. Exposing their historical obsolescence and intellectual sterility, the authors call for a bidding farewell to the whole Eurocentric development idea. This is urgently needed, they argue, in order to liberate people’s minds - in both North and South - for bold responses to the environmental and ethical challenges now confronting humanity.
