“Rethinking Development: Marxist Perspectives is certainly a must-read for someone who seeks to understand the complex intertwining of Marxism with the development discourse and explore unorthodox and non-Eurocentric approaches. Furthermore, this book directly engages with political practice, suggesting that Marxism should intermingle with concepts from the Global South to face neoliberalism from a global perspective and avoid determinism and Eurocentrism.” (Andrea Taborri, Capital & Class, Vol. 47 (2), June, 2023)
