Sachs Wolfgang (ed.) The Development Dictionary: A Guide to Knowledge as Power

2nd edition. — Zed Books, 2010. — 332 p. — ISBN 978 1 84813 379 2.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.Development
