A pioneering work by one of the pioneers in development ethics, who has long been at the leading edge of development in linking the worlds of thought and action. This new field of study has emerged from a heightened awareness of social issues and values in development and a recognition of the need for application of something more than "normal ethics" in this important realm of human endeavor. After setting forth the contours of this new discipline, the author formulates general principles underlying ethical strategies in development and discusses their application in such topics as technology for development, ecology and ethics, culture and tradition, and the ethics of aid. Written for scholars, students, and practitioners of development: national and international policy-makers, program planners, project managers, field workers, and those local "communities of need", the presumed beneficiaries of development.

Goulet, Denis André was born on May 27, 1931 in Fall River, Massachusetts, United States. Son of Fernand Joseph and Lumena (Bouchard) Goulet.

Goulet"s definition of Development Ethics is that it is a field that examines the ethical and value questions related to development theory, planning, and practice. Goulet was a professor emeritus in the Department of Economics and Policy Studies at University of Notre Dame. He had also served as a faculty fellow at the Kellogg Institute for International Studies and at the Joan B. Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies.
He took his undergraduate and master"s degrees in Philosophy from Saint Paul’s College, he took a master’s degree in Social Planning from IRFED in Paris.
And took his Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science from the University of São Paulo, Brazil. Goulet"s work drew its major inspiration from the writings and examples of a group French religious intellectuals including Charles de Foucauld, Simone Weil, Louis-Joseph Lebret and the “worker priests” of the last century and from the hunger and thirst for justice of the gospel of Matthew.
Thirlwall, notes Goulet"s contribution to the broadening of the notion of development to include economic and social objectives and the values that societies strive foreign In this conext he quotes Goulet"s (1971) distinguishing of three basic components or core values of development: life-sustenance self-esteem freedom.
This analysis can be viewed as a precursor to the work of Amartya Senator and the Human Development Index.
