The Myth of Development - Oswaldo de Rivero

The Myth of Development: The Non-Viable Economies of the 21st Century by Oswaldo de Rivero

The Myth of Development challenges the widely accepted idea that all nations are on a path toward industrial growth. Oswaldo de Rivero argues that for many countries, especially in the Global South, traditional development models have failed to deliver real economic and scientific progress. With a bold and politically realistic approach, the book reframes these states not as “developing,” but as non-viable national economies struggling for survival. Buy in Kenya with fast delivery.
