Environmentalist Robert Chambers first taught us altruism: suggesting that
improving the quality of life of the poor means 鈥減utting the last first鈥�. In
Whose Reality Counts? (Intermediate Technology, 拢3.25, ISBN 1 85339 386
X), he argues that we also need to disempower the rich and dominant to put 鈥渢he
first last鈥�. This will require institutional and professional
overhauls鈥攁nd personal soul-searching. Uncomfortable, sometimes funny, but
essential reading.
