"Development" is a popular word nowadays. But how much do we know about what development actually is? We have some common beliefs about development, which limit our understanding of broader issues. This book challenges ten common myths that misguide development thinking. It explains why growth with specific policies alone is not enough for development and why inequality, institutions, gender justice, technology, and sustainability matter. This book is a concise guide for the readers seeking deeper, evidence-based insights into real development.
