<p>“A timely, thought-provoking work. Recommended." <br />—CHOICE <br /><br />“Development Redefined offers an invaluable rethinking of development theory and practice by two of the world’s most respected scholars/citizens. Their experience, insight, knowledge, activist commitment, and engaging style make this book indispensable reading for anyone concerned with global economic justice and making the world a better place.” <br />—Richard Falk, professor at Princeton University and the University of California—Santa Barbara, a prolific author in international studies <br /><br />“The gripping story of the big lies, the sly co-optations and the backroom deals that disguised a fierce contest as a fake consensus. This is a people’s history of the rise of corporate rule and there could be no more trusted or surefooted guides than Robin Broad and John Cavanagh.” <br />—Naomi Klein, author of The Shock Doctrine <br /><br />“To end poverty, it is critical to understand its roots. Broad and Cavanagh dig deep to uncover the origins of poverty and they offer paths to a better future.... A terrific antidote to the popular misconceptions spread by Thomas Friedman and Jeffrey Sachs.” <br />—Vandana Shiva, founder of the Research Foundation for Science, Technology, and Ecology in India, and author of numerous books, including Water Wars and Earth Democracy <br /><br />“A hard-hitting chronicle of the rise and fall of the Washington Consensus, followed by a fascinating discussion of a dazzling array of alternatives to a failed doctrine. Authored by leading public scholars who played a role in the demise of neoliberalism, this book shows that scores of ideologically-driven World Bank and International Monetary Fund studies are no match for tough analysis combined with imaginative thinking.” <br />—Walden Bello, award-winning author of over a dozen books on globalization and professor at the University of the Philippines </p>
