The Myth of Development: Non-viable Economies by Oswaldo De Rivero PAPERBACK
Bloomsbury Publishing PLC
Discover the critical insights of "The Myth of Development" by Oswaldo De Rivero, which challenges conventional development models and their impact on civilization. This book argues that state-driven and market-led approaches have failed to deliver promised benefits, leading to societal collapse in many regions. De Rivero posits that the crisis is not merely economic but deeply rooted in our unsustainable way of life and global urban civilization. Key arguments include: * The inadequacy of the 'wealth of nations' agenda and the need for a 'survival of nations' approach. * The necessity for many countries to abandon development dreams and focus on national survival through basic needs like water, food, and renewable energy. * Stabilization of populations as a crucial element for survival. Featuring a new introduction by the author, this edition incorporates recent findings on climate change and assesses humanity's future prospects. It's an essential read for understanding the complexities of global development and the urgent need for a paradigm shift. Summary: The Myth of Development, Oswaldo De Rivero, Paperback, English, 176 pages, ISBN 9781786997616, Bloomsbury Publishing.
