Abstract
- The article discusses the stagnation of macro-level development theory in development studies, attributed to a mainstream denial of systemic transformation beyond capitalism. It reports the micro-level issues like healthcare and water provision, neglecting fundamental systemic change. It highlights the lack of challenge to capitalism in mainstream discourse leads to a lack of consideration for socialism as a viable alternative.
