Relaunching Development with a Human Face
The History of Development
Author: Gilbert Rist
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1783600241
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 322
Book Description
In this classic text, now in its fourth edition, Gilbert Rist provides a complete and powerful overview of what the idea of development has meant throughout history. He traces it from its origins in the Western view of history, through the early stages of the world system, the rise of US hegemony, and the supposed triumph of third-worldism, through to new concerns about the environment and globalization. In a new chapter on post-development models and ecological dimensions, written against a background of world crisis and ideological disarray, Rist considers possible ways forward and brings the book completely up to date. Throughout, he argues persuasively that development has been no more than a collective delusion, which in reality has resulted only in widening market relations, whatever the intentions of its advocates.

Fearless and Free
Author: Wendy Sachs
Publisher: AMACOM
ISBN: 0814437702
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 229
Book Description
In Fearless and Free, author Wendy Sachs provides pithy, invaluable guidance to women stymied in the workplace. Women tend to be inherently cautious, to the point of overthinking their every move. This may help them stay safer than their male counterparts, but it also keeps them stuck in the action-first, fake-it-til-you-make-it ethos celebrated in the tech world shaking up the workforce today. What if women embraced the startup spirit? What if they had the confidence to take chances, even if they knew they may fail first? What if instead of agonizing over which step to take, they leapt forward quickly? These are the traits that helped Silicon Valley redefine our culture, and not surprisingly, these are the same lessons that can help all women succeed in all stages of their careers. With lessons learned from a wide range of women who faced down fears, roadblocks, and failures to reinvent themselves, Sachs’s invaluable resource teaches women how to: Boost their confidence Sell their story Capitalize on their skills and expand them Nurture their network Brand themselves--without bragging Reposition themselves for reentering the workforce By taking the disruptive methods that helped Silicon Valley send shockwaves across industries, Fearless and Free seeks to empower women in the workforce, showing them how to lean into their strengths, increase confidence, and make their impact known loud and clear.
