Review

'Denis Goulet fills an important gap: that between the positive doctrine of the economists and the proliferation of recommendations by nearly everyone to policy-makers. He analyses lucidly and sensitively the ethical values behind development, drawing ingeniously on all relevant disciplines.' - Paul Streeten, Professor Emeritus, Boston University 'Innovative, thoughtful, perceptive, a primer in development ethics. At last, a balanced theoretical and practical analysis. Denis Goulet's book will become a classic.' -Professor Louis Sabourin, Universit‚ du Quebec
