On January 20, 1949 US President Harry S. Truman officially opened
the era of development. On that day, over one half of the people of
the world were defined as "underdeveloped" and they have stayed
that way ever since. This book explains the origins of development
and underdevelopment and shows how poorly we understand these two
terms. It offers a new vision for development, demystifying the
statistics that international organizations use to measure
development and introducing the alternative concept of buen vivir:
the state of living well. The authors argue that it is possible for
everyone on the planet to live well, but only if we learn to live
as communities rather than as individuals and to nurture our
respective commons. Scholars and students of global development
studies are well-aware that development is a difficult concept.
This thought-provoking book offers them advice for the future of
development studies and hope for the future of humankind.
