Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - 'A towering achievement. It outdoes Sen and Hirshman in its reach across economics, management theory, psychology, sociology, mathematics and philosophy. The result is a coherent alternative 'way of seeing' the relationship between aid organizations based in rich countries and aid recipients based in poorer ones, and some practical suggestions on how to re-engage the aid agencies more as 'helpers' than as 'doers'.

David Ellerman is currently a Visiting Scholar in the Economics Department at the Unive.…
