Beginning with the assertion that development assistance agencies are inherently structured to provide help that is ultimately unhelpful by overriding or undercutting the capacity of people to help themselves, David Ellerman argues that the best strategy for development is a drastic reduction in development assistance. The locus of initiative can then shift from the would-be helpers to the doers (recipients) of development. Ellerman presents various methods for shifting initiative that are indirect, enabling and autonomy-respecting. Eight representative figures in the fields of education, community organization, economic development, psychotherapy and management theory including: Albert Hirschman, Paulo Freire, John Dewey, and Soren Kierkegaard demonstrate how the major themes of assisting autonomy among people are essentially the same. David Ellerman is currently a Visiting Scholar in the Economics Department at the University of California at Riverside. 410 0$aEvolving values for a capitalist world. 606 $aEconomic assistance$zDeveloping countries 606 $aEconomic development$xSocial aspects$zDeveloping countries 615 0$aEconomic assistance 615 0$aEconomic development$xSocial aspects 676 $a338.91091724 700 $aEllerman$b David P$0232092 801 0$bMiU 801 1$bMiU 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910974578503321 996 $aHelping people help themselves$94476464 997 $aUNINA
