 uilding\, Sidgwick site on 'Rethinking private property rights\, microfina
 nce and other development fads'. David will be discussing 'the Left-Green

 lysis of 'Development and its fads\, such as Microfinance'.\n\nAuthor of t
 he critically acclaimed\, ‘Helping People Help Themselves: From the Worl
 d Bank to an Alternative Philosophy of Development Assistance’\, David h
 as worked in the World Bank from 1992 to 2003 where he was an economic adv
 isor to the Chief Economist Joseph Stiglitz. \n\nA recent review of his la
 test book-\n\n“A towering achievement. It outdoes Sen and Hirshman in it
 s reach across economics\, management theory\, psychology\, sociology\, ma
 thematics and philosophy. The result is a coherent alternative “way of s
 eeing” the relationship between aid organizations based in rich countrie
 s and aid recipients based in poorer ones\, and some practical suggestions
  on how to reengage the aid agencies more as “helpers” than as “doer
 s”. Along the way it fairly sizzles with insider insights into the worki
 ngs of the World Bank.” —Robert Hunter Wade\, Development Studies Inst
 itute\, London School of Economics.\n\n
