The idea of "development", especially in the last few decades, has been closely identified with progress, modernity and emancipation. It has also acquired an aura of indisputable inexorability. This treatise on the environment argues that this view is misleading, and that development is often a label masking plunder and violence. The author illustrates his arguments with numerous case studies concerning the "wrong" kinds of development, and proposes many viable alternatives to such forms of progress.
