Book synopsis

This book provides a brief history of the notion of development and of the related policies. Readers will find an overview of the main development notions and debates from 1950 to the present. The author argues that sustainable development is equal to empowerment within a specific historical setting; in other words, development is a dialectic relationship between people's empowerment and the existing social and economic structures. The book examines some well-known economic growth models from Harrod in 1939 to Solow in 1956, but it contends that contemporary issues on development can be better understood with the help of the founding fathers of economics, namely Smith and Marx. The work offers some examples of how to re-balance the existing economic powers with the problem of long-term financing for development in mind.
