Reviews
Katy Gardner treads a finely judged line, keeping both neoliberal developers and anti-globalisation activists at arm's length in order to describe relations at a human scale, thereby doing for development what anthropology ought. She addresses a number of highly topical issues include the paradoxical developmental effects of extractive industries, Corporate Social Responsibility as a form of neoliberal governmentality (handled especially well), microfinance and corruption. This an extremely rare opening up of the world of ordinary people affected by such schemes. -- David Mosse, Professor of Social Anthropology at the School of Oriental and Asian Studies, University of London.
