“hat should the principles of development policy be? In light of the often-dark history of Western attempts to develop other parts of the world—from the conquest of the Americas and the colonization of Africa and Asia to the more banal ‘development’ policies of the twentieth century—what regularly went wrong in this history?

These are the questions at the heart of William Easterly’s Violent Saviors: The West’s Conquest of the Rest.” (10/20/26)
