Reclaiming Development was not an easy book for me to read. It made me uncomfortable in a way only a book aiming to question the status quo can. From the beginning, it grasped my attention in a bold, \’here is our argument and this is why it is important enough for you to listen to it\’ way. I\’m glad I chose to review the book (and thankful to LSE Review of Books to send it to me!).
In simple writing and concise chapters, Chang and Grabel (both noted development economists), put forth a compelling case for challenging the current belief that development is achievable only through a neoliberal model. The book first explores existing \’Development Myths\’ and then provides specific solutions drawing from several case studies.
