| Summary, etc | Book Abstract Is greed really so important to human development that, as Gordon Gekko in the 1987 film Wall Street once infamously said, “Greed, for lack of a better word, is good”? This favorable view on greed can be contrasted with the opposing one by Mahatma Gandhi, who equally famously remarked that “The world has enough for everyone's need, but not enough for everyone's greed.” (GR 2017) Contrary to these opposing views (and other ones as will be discussed in the book), human development studies (in relation to development and anti-development—as well as other dichotomies) is neither possible (or impossible) nor desirable (or undesirable) to the extent that the respective ideologues (on different sides) would like us to believe, such that there is no development without anti-development (and vice versa), to be explained by the “achievement-carefreedom principle,” the “absoluteness-relativeness principle,” the “regression-progression principle,” and other ones in “existential dialectics” (in Chapter Four). Of course, this challenge to the conventional debate does not mean that human development studies, as a field of study, has no value, or that those diverse fields (related to human development studies)—such as economics, political science, sociology, anthropology, history, theology, psychology, communication studies, migration studies, demography, environmental studies, and so on—should be dismissed. (WK 2017) Needless to say, neither of these extreme views is reasonable. |
