Review # 1 was written on 2015-12-03 00:00:00 Adam Doing This book presents an overview of major theories of development (a.k.a. why some countries are poor and some are rich and what to do about it)'neoclassical, sociological, dependency, feminist etc… It does an excellent job of describing the different intellectual assumptions that underly these theories and how it influences the solutions that they advocate. Throughout all of this, the authors present their own view on development. While this book is an great primer on development, it can be at times a bit dull and confusing. The authors try their best to coin the development of these different theories, but sometimes end up listing a bunch of scattered conferences, papers and ideas.
