Extract

The Power of Greed: Collective Action in International Development, Michael Rosberg, Edmonton: University of Alberta Press, 2005, pp. 299.

This book has a title that promises interesting and provocative content. It is published by the press of one of Canada's major universities. It is written by a Canadian who, after graduating from a US university with a fine reputation in development studies, accumulated years of field experience with development projects in Colombia and Belize. It is sad, therefore, that this volume supports the adage against judging a book by its cover.
