Development, Neoliberalism, and Islamism in South Asia: The Case of Bangladesh (book review)

Development, Neoliberalism, and Islamism in South Asia: The Case of Bangladesh poses the issue of development, in which development for a group of people can lead to underdevelopment for marginalized others. The author critiques the neoliberal definition of development on two important grounds: first, it is limited to material wealth, and second, ignores people's freedom and well-being. He argues neoliberalism is a “great reversal” of the theories of John Maynard Keynes and contradicts the development history of the industrialized West.
