In Humanitarian Development Paradigm, Wilfred L. David makes a plea for the fundamental reorientation of the economics that guide conventional development discourse, moving toward an emancipatory conversation focusing on human well-being or people-centered liberation. His paradigm-altering vision elevates core human values, guaranteed rights, and global justice in development thinking, practice, and policy.

Wilfred L. David holds a D.Phil in Economics from the University of Oxford. He is Graduate Professor of Economics and African Studies at Howard University, Washington, DC.
