In this landmark text, Gilbert Rist provides a comprehensive and
compelling overview of what the idea of development has meant
throughout history. He traces it from its origins in the Western
view of history, through the early stages of the world system, the
rise of US hegemony, and the supposed triumph of third-worldism,
through to new concerns about the environment and globalization.
Assessing possible postdevelopment models and considering the
ecological dimensions of development, Rist contemplates the ways
forward. Throughout, he argues persuasively that development has
been no more than a collective delusion, which in reality has
resulted only in widening market relations, whatever the intentions
of its advocates. A classic development text written by one of the
leaders of postdevelopment theory.
