Summary, etc. Development and its corollary problems have been the subject of much recent controversy the world over. The questions most frequently debated are, how the "cake" is to be divided; whether some nations should develop at the expense of others; and whether developing nations should follow the same path of development that advanced nations followed decades ago. Total Development views these problems through an entirely new perspective, combining Marxian and Gandhian ideas on development. The author stresses the need to rethink goals, and substitute goals such as unlimited economic growth with others like the eradication of poverty, reduction of inequalities and increased employment opportunities. He demonstrates the dangers of uncontrolled industrialism and the advantages of socialist development over capitalism.<br/><br/>While, to many, the solutions provided in this book may appear Utopian, "... each idea not yet realized curiously resembles a Utopia; one would never do anything if one thought that nothing is possible except that which exists already".
