This book presents findings of systematic research into thecontested meanings of development and wellbeing from a country, Peru, which has recently experienced both rapid economic growth and deep social conflict. A mix of ethnographic and questionnaire data from seven poor urban and rural communities straddling the Andes is used to describeand analyze local and global interpretations of their inhabitants pursuit of wellbeing.
