Summary:	"Making World Development Work is a criticism of the endorsement of neoclassical economic theory as the miracle recipe for successful development. It is a book about the development of poor regions, its meaning, its history, its successes and failures, its relation to social, economic, and environmental issues." "The authors reexamine world development - usually the province of economists - as professionals trained in the natural sciences. They show how we have and might use tested scientific and technical procedures and concepts, as well as science itself, to achieve much better results than what has been characteristic of the past. Leclerc and Hall contend that to scholars with a scientific background, the process of development, and the economic logic behind it, often look almost surrealistic. The basic question at the foundation of this review is this: Why should something so important as world development, something capable of absorbing such vast sums of money and of human goodwill, something that impacts the people and the environment so much, continue to be organized and planned using economic techniques and theories that are both unconfirmed experimentally and proven to have led to development failures?"--Jacket.  Read more...
