Recenzii
This book will have many readers among economists and politicians, as well as among the increasing number of people concerned with development and project design.
Written with passion, this book also inspires passion in the reader, above all because it views the problem of poverty from a new and more human angle.
A clear break from the conventional approach to economics.
A masterpiece. The three "theoretical interludes" are remarkable for their insight, originality and profundity.
