Beyond Apologies

 A lot is wrong with current economic thinking. The bad effects are all around us: a worsening environment, growing inequality, and bankrupt governments. But we cannot achieve something better if we do not learn to identify and counter the myths that hold us back.  Beyond Apologies makes the case for an economics not of waste, consumption, and inequality, but of wellbeing.




Advance praise for Beyond Apologies:
“Economics does not have to be the dismal science. Many false assumptions have crept into economics over the years. Debra Efroymson clears the air and shows us how to build a prosperous and sustainable economy.”

– J.H. Crawford, author of  Carfree Cities (International Books, 2002) and  Carfree Design Manual (International Books, 2009)

Beyond Apologies Summary



“Debra Efroymson’s new book, Beyond Apologies, is a must read for development practitioners and social justice advocates working to question mainstream development policies and programs. Efroymson deftly combines a historical review of the unintended consequences of diverse poverty alleviation initiatives from around the world with a sharp analysis of current policy debates and a
logically-drawn road map for fundamentally changing how practitioners should think about development. The book is engagingly written and holds a treasure trove of illustrative cases and data points that oblige the international develop -ment community to rethink economic assumptions and assess how policy incoherence is driving counterproductive impact and harming the poor.”

– Judy Gearhart, Executive Director, International Labor Rights Forum


“Debra Efroymson debunks the myths that moneyed interests and big corpora -tions use to justify their domination of our society. She also provides a clear roadmap for those who want to show another world is possible. She presents evidence, stories, and insights that health, environmental and social justice activists can use to guide their efforts to create a healthier, more sustainable and
more just world.”
