Unraveling the Contradictions of Development

Development after all, what is it?

This podcast will give you the beginning of an answer, since Patricia Velicu is interested in the roots of development. Starting from the ideas of the 18th and 19th centuries and taking an interest in capitalism and historical progress, she analyses the contradictions around the idea of development. Indeed, far from the models of crisis that development creates because of its dependence on GDP growth, there is an idea of development in the sense of improving society by increasing its well-being and equity.

Following this first part, a discussion is held with Vincent Liegey. This intellectually rich exchange is summarized in the last 5 minutes of the podcast.

Enjoy listening!
