Each concept is reviewed from a historical and anthropological point of view, with particular bias and intellectual flaws being highlighted. Overall, the authors argue that we must bid farewell to the whole idea of Eurocentric development in order to liberate people's minds in both North and South and to mobilize for bold responses to the environmental and ethical challenges now confronting humanity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe result is an indispensable resource for scholars, practitioners, movements and students of development which invites us to recognize the tinted glasses we put on whenever we participate in the development discourse.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003eWolfgang Sachs is an author and Research Director at the Wuppertal Institute for Climate, Environment and Energy, in Germany.
