Beyond developmentality: constructive inclusive freedom and sustainability, Debal Deb, Earthscan, London

摘要

Beyond Developmentality traces the history of development theory and policy and how it has impacted the lives of those in the developing world. Deb argues that throughout its history development has been myopically defined and boxed within the narrow confines of materialistic concepts. Economic development has been equated with economic growth, and well-being has been seen as equivalent to per capita income. Economic models assume that humans are narrowly rational optimizers and that the natural world exists solely to fuel human material consumption.
