Development Economics
Routledge (Verlag)
978-1-032-21210-4 (ISBN)
Faced with this scenario, why do economists insist on the ideas of development, convergence, and emulation of the lifestyle of western countries? Is it possible to disassociate development from multidimensional instability, dependency, subordination, and exploitation? Is the current social, political, ecological, and economic organized destabilization observed in the western countries a model to follow, a desirable end of history? These questions raised earlier by some fellow economists, have become ever more pressing in the present context of generalized instability. The book questions how ethical and professionally responsible it is for economists to continue to undiscerningly prescribe miraculous one-size-fits-all market-oriented models to solve socio-economic problems everywhere. The contributors of this edited volume invite the readers to consider these questions and further similar inquiries in the future.
The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of the journal Review of Political Economy.
Natalia Bracarense is Associate Professor of Economics at North Central College, Naperville, USA, and an ATER at SciencesPo Toulouse, France. Specialised in International Political Economy and History of Economic Thought, Dr. Bracarense analyses the historical unfolding of development policies implemented in several countries to inform economic theory towards a framework that views economic transformation as a non-linear and non-teleological process. Louis-Philippe Rochon is Full Professor of Economics at Laurentian University, Canada. He is the Editor-in-Chief of the Review of Political Economy and the founding Editor (now Emeritus) of the Review of Keynesian Economics. He has published over 150 book and journal articles and written or edited over 30 books.
