Debal Deb, Beyond Developmentality: Constructing Inclusive Freedom and Sustainability Earthscan, 2009
Economic growth and industrial development, we are told, are the keys to human and social progress. Debal Deb is far from convinced. In a new book, Deb critiques mainstream economic priorities; calls into question many assumptions about the natural world; describes how traditional indigenous societies have interacted with nature; and calls for a zero-growth economy.
