'Confident and ambitious, this Handbook pushes the debate on development as capitalism in new directions. It offers a critical, sociological - or genealogical - approach, emphasising capitalism's unpredictability above all. Highly recommended as much for the detail and novelty of the chapters as for the profound commitment of the contributors to global transformation and a more equal world'--Jean Grugel, University of York, UK'This is an excellent volume. Topics for chapters have been well chosen and chapters are written by authors well placed in the field. This valuable collection provides a rich and pertinent review of the development field.'--Jan Nederveen Pieterse, University of California, Santa Barbara, US
