First sentence: We are so used to the notion of economic development as providing us an abundance of material comforts that to claim "Economic Development is Human Development" seems to be a reversal of reality.
Description: "Economic Development is but one facet of Human Development. This forces us to ask - how do humans develop? Man is a social animal and the growth of our humanity requires various social institutions, such as the bureaucracy. The paradox of Capitalism is that it is a system ostensibly based on self-interest yet wholly dependent on non-market values for its success. These non-market values are shaped by two much neglected factors, religion and ethnicity."--BOOK JACKET.
