Development Ethics: A Guide to Theory and Practice - Softcover

'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

The development process involves many difficult social issues and ethical questions. This book formulates the general principles underlying ethical strategies in development and then illustrates their potential for application in a number of key-issue areas, including technology, the environment, culture and aid policy.
