In this classic text, now in its fourth edition, Gilbert Rist provides a complete and powerful overview of what the idea of development has meant throughout history.
Provocative and original, this essential book provides incontrovertible proof that the construction of a new economic paradigm - pluralistic, ecologically compatible, grounded in reality - has now become a necessity.
Gilbert Rist es profesor emérito del Instituto Universitario de Estudios Internacionales y del Desarrollo (IHEID, antes IUED) de Ginebra y ha sido profesor en Sciences Po Paris.
Et si la culture, mise au service du développement, en était devenue l'otage ? Comment s'organisent ces rapports conflictuels - abstraitement définis - dans les pratiques quotidiennes ?
