Abstract
Christa Wichterich argues that we have to radically change development to make the rationale of care and sustenance development central. She explores some of the transformation strategies on a conceptual and practical level in a democratic, inclusive and gender-just way. She asks that feminists stress the emancipatory potential of a development based on a caring economy, of commons and sufficiency.
