In his reflections on decolonization and post-development, Gustavo Esteva forged a unique synthesis of critical theory and political economy. This book presents more than half a century of "reflection in action" in the form of essays, books, and interventions in national and international forums and newspaper articles—most published here for the very first time. It showcases Esteva’s evolving thought on economic theory, social change, revolutionary subjectivity, transition, development, the challenges of a new era and personal and communal autonomy, all associated with the challenges and advances in the construction of a new society. Through this translation, Esteva’s writings engage with many of the important cultural and political debates of the present day and retain their power both to provoke and move the reader. Readers will see a thinker at work, formulating local, grassroots alternatives as they are emerging in Mexico and Latin America, with a keen sensibility to what happens in other regions of the world. Gustavo Esteva: A Critique of Development and Other Essays offers a lucid insight into the climatic and sociopolitical collapses we face and will be of interest to students and scholars of critical theory, post-colonial and de-colonial studies, and post-development studies.

On January 20, 1949 US President Harry S. Truman officially opened the era of development. On that day, over one half of the people of the world were defined as "underdeveloped" and they have stayed that way ever since. This book explains the origins of development and underdevelopment and shows how poorly we understand these two terms. It offers a new vision for development, demystifying the statistics that international organizations use to measure development and introducing the alternative concept of buen vivir: the state of living well. The authors argue that it is possible for everyone on the planet to live well, but only if we learn to live as communities rather than as individuals and to nurture our respective commons. Scholars and students of global development studies are well-aware that development is a difficult concept. This thought-provoking book offers them advice for the future of development studies and hope for the future of humankind. - Inbunden, Engelska, 2013

With the publication of this remarkable book in 1998, Gustavo Esteva and Madhu Suri Prakash instigated a complete epistemological rupture.Grassroots Post-modernism attacks the three sacred cows of modernity: global thinking, the universality of human rights and the self-sufficient individual. Rejecting the constructs of development in all its forms, Esteva and Prakash argue that even alternative development prescriptions deprive the people of control over their own lives, shifting this control to bureaucrats, technocrats and educators. Rather than presuming that human progress fits a predetermined mould, leading towards an increasing homogenization of cultures and lifestyles, the authors argue for a ‘radical pluralism’ that honours and nurtures distinctive cultural variety and enables many paths to the realization of self-defined aspirations.This classic text is essential reading for those looking beyond neoliberalism, the global project and the individual self. - E-bokEngelska, 2014

"El levantamiento del Ejército Zapatista de Liberación Nacional cumplió 30 años en enero del 2024. Gustavo Esteva fue de los intelectuales mexicanos que desde 1994, hasta su muerte en marzo del 2022, acompañó al movimiento zapatista pensando a su lado, con ellxs y a partir de ellxs. Esteva reconocía en el zapatismo la revolución más importante de nuestra era, la que encarnaba una serie de características que la convertían en una auténtica alternativa al régimen dominante. Por este motivo, también escribió ampliamente sobre el zapatismo, publicando un libro (Crónicas del fin de una era. El secreto del ezln) apenas a pocos meses del levantamiento. Durante las siguientes dos décadas, continuó analizando los aportes del zapatismo, poniéndolos en diálogo con otras importantes líneas del pensamiento crítico como Iván Illich o el grupo Krisis de Alemania.Teniendo en cuenta este contexto, la presente antología tiene la virtud de ofrecer un análisis profundo del zapatismo siguiendo de cerca diferentes momentos de sus 30 años. Los textos reunidos aportan un acercamiento a distintas dimensiones del zapatismo, ofreciendo no solamente un análisis de su pasado, sino enfatizando sus aportes críticos pertinentes en la actualidad y en los tiempos que tenemos por delante. Presenta además el pensamiento de un autor mundialmente reconocido por su crítica al desarrollo, su trabajo en comunidades indígenas y rurales, su amistad y colaboración con Iván Illich, su crítica al sistema escolarizado, el diálogo intercultural y un largo etcétera.
