Overview
Drawing on his background in anthropology, Dichter has worked in development for 35 years in a variety of roles and agencies. Here he sets out his evidence for thinking that development as practiced does not work, and cannot achieve measurable and lasting improvements in masses of people's lives however it might be restructured,, reengineered, or resettled on a different paradigm. He calls his analysis pragmatic rather than political or ideological. Annotation (c)2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, ORBook Details
