From the Outside Looking In: Experiences in Barefoot Economics

Autor Manfred Max-Neef
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 7 sep 1992
This book, now available in English for the first time, has become a classic since it was first published in 1982. Translated into five languages, it has had an extraordinary influence on grassroots development projects.

The author relates two of his own experiences in 'barefoot economics', interspersing these moving and insightful accounts with reflections on development projects and experts, pioneering criticism of of orthodox development economics, and a new vision of development in which the poor must learn to circumvent the national economic system.

Notes

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.
