Recenzje

"Michael Woolcock delivers a rare combination of gifts: the enduring insights of a scholar, the practical wisdom of a practitioner, and the passion of a change-maker. For anyone on the 'epic adventure' of international development, this is an essential guide to how we got here, where we should go, and why we strive."Yuen Yuen Ang, author of How China Escaped the Poverty Trap and China's Gilded Age"More than any social researcher I know, Woolcock understands the architecture and dynamics of complex social change. His experience making pragmatic and theoretical sense of development results in a highly engaging, thoughtful, and eloquent book."Sanjeev Sridharan, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and University of Toronto
