«El desarrollo: historia de una creencia occidental» is Gilbert Rist's essay, published by Los libros de la Catarata in paperback (320 pages).
Gilbert Rist examines how the idea of development became a Western belief: he reviews its foundations, its evolution up to the 1970s and the coining of underdevelopment, and argues that poverty is a consequence, not a cause, of that condition. A critique of the promises of progress and of the practices of international cooperation.
It belongs to the Colección Mayor of Los libros de la Catarata (number 137). Text in Spanish, translated from French by Adolfo Fernández Marugán.
Reference work for students and professionals in sociology, international cooperation and development studies.
