Author Overview
The History of Development: From Western Origins to Global Faith
This is the third edition of a classic development text, which has both defined and changed its field. In the History of Development Gilbert Rist provides a complete and powerful overview of what the idea of development has meant throughout history. He traces it from its origins in the Western view of history, through the early stages of the world system, the rise of US hegemony and the supposed triumph of the third world, to new concerns about the environment and globalization. In two new chapters on the Millennium Development Goals and post-development thinking. Rist bring the book completely up to date. Throughout, he argues persuasively that development has been no more than a collective delusion, which in reality has only resulted in widening market relations, despite the good intentions of its advocates. Lucidly and powerfully written, this new edition is more essential than ever for students and practitioners of development.Similar Items
