| Zusammenfassung: | Polly Hill's provocative book examines the disastrous gulf that separates development economics from its sister discipline, economic anthropology. Working with material from the rural tropical world, much of it collected at first hand in West Africa and South India, Dr Hill demonstrates in the first, polemical part of her book, how unreliable and western-biased assumptions most development economists base their theoretical work. She shows in particular that misleading official statistics are handled uncritically, that the significance of innate rural inequality is consistently ignored and the revered concepts such as the 'population explosion' are in anthropological terms largely meaningless. The longer, second part of the book illustrates the enormous relevance and potential of economic anthropology for economists by looking in turn at the true complexity of farming households, labour and inheritance; at debt, social stratification and economic inequality, and at problems connected with the sale of land, the role of women and migration. Taken overall, Development Economics on Trial represents a powerful and urgent plea for co-operation |

Working with material from the rural tropical world, much of it collected at first hand in West Africa and South India, Dr Hill demonstrates in the first, polemical part of her book, how unreliable and western-biased assumptions most development economists base their theoretical work. She shows in particular that misleading official statistics are handled uncritically, that the significance of innate rural inequality is consistently ignored and the revered concepts such as the 'population explosion' are in anthropological terms largely meaningless. The longer, second part of the book illustrates the enormous relevance and potential of economic anthropology for economists by looking in turn at the true complexity of farming households, labour and inheritance; at debt, social stratification and economic inequality, and at problems connected with the sale of land, the role of women and migration. Taken overall, Development Economics on Trial represents a powerful and urgent plea for co-operation Rural development / Africa, West Rural development / India, South Economic anthropology / Africa, West Economic anthropology / India, South Ländliche Entwicklung (DE-588)4034450-2 gnd rswk-swf Ökonomische Anthropologie (DE-588)4321994-9 gnd rswk-swf Anthropologie (DE-588)4002230-4 gnd rswk-swf Landwirtschaftsentwicklung (DE-588)4034453-8 gnd rswk-swf Westafrika (DE-588)4079203-1 gnd rswk-swf Indien Süd (DE-588)4026754-4 gnd rswk-swf Westafrika (DE-588)4079203-1 g Landwirtschaftsentwicklung (DE-588)4034453-8 s Ökonomische Anthropologie (DE-588)4321994-9 s Indien Süd (DE-588)4026754-4 g 1\p DE-604 Ländliche Entwicklung (DE-588)4034450-2 s 2\p DE-604 3\p DE-604 Anthropologie (DE-588)4002230-4 s 4\p DE-604 5\p DE-604 Erscheint auch als Druckausgabe 978-0-521-31096-3 Erscheint auch als Druckausgabe 978-0-521-32104-4 https://doi.org/10.1017/CBO9781139165983 Verlag URL des Erstveröffentlichers Volltext 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 2\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 3\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 4\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 5\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
