Overview

How do rural development programs, especially those run by nongovernmental organizations, cope in a time of structural adjustment programs and economic liberalization? Using Ecuador as a prototype of many other countries, Rural Progress, Rural Decay explores the adverse consequences of neoliberal macroeconomic policies on equitable development and compares them with experiences elsewhere in Latin America and other parts of the developing world.

Reviews

Exceptionally well documented and thoughtfully cross-referenced.

A great teaching text -- helping students think across levels of analysis and across domains of enquiry (including disciplinary domains). An inspiring, rich and insightful book. A great variety of issues are discussed in a critical and engaging manner. Effectively pops the bubble of neoliberal fantasy. It should be required reading for IMF and World Bank economists. Exceptionally well documented and thoughtfully cross-referenced.
