Is Development Good?

“[I]t is the unthinking, limitless overconsumption by another part of the world’s population which perpetuates this [economic] entrapment [of the South] and makes it even worse. For the rich, it is a question of recapturing what has been cast aside so foolishly, or carelessly lost in the intoxicated rush towards production for production’s sake and growth as if there were no tomorrow. This headlong path ultimately must lead to disaster. For the poor, it is often a question of trying to preserve, defend and reinforce what they still have: their cultural and ethical values, their capacity to think and act autonomously, their artisan skills and oral prowess, and , above all, their ancient wisdoms and civilizations.”

- Raff Carmen, Autonomous Development: An Excursion into Radical Thinking and Practice, 1996

Words Matter

• What effect do you think it has on traditional cultures to be judged “underdeveloped”?

• Can they be proud of their “underdeveloped” lives?• Do you think groups like the Sukura and Pokot would see their

lives as “underdeveloped”?• The terms “developed” and “underdeveloped” are not a value-

free measurement of people’s quality of life, but a judgment about what manner of living is best.
