Abstract: Abstract This book has been “in the works” since 2008. At that time, “business” approaches and “ market- based” forces were all the rage. Development aid was deemed “fatal,”29 and “philanthrocapitalists” were welcomed as the new saviors.30 One major financial crisis later, government intervention is back with a vengeance and capitalism has turned from a superhero into a villain to be rehabilitated with a healthy dose of regulation.
