First published in 1991 this text provides an incisive analysis
of theories concerning the origins of economic inequality between
nations. Central to the authora (TM)s investigation is the concept
of underdevelopment, and a focus on successive Western a ~systems
of conceptualisationa (TM) of the relationship between the west and
the rest of the world. The first part of the book concerns the
Marx/Engels theory of the Asiatic mode of production, and the
anti-Imperialist reaction against Eurocentrisim initiated by the
theoretical synthesis of J. A. Hobson. This is followed by an
examination of the post-World War II era, particularly the
evolution of development studies and the differing versions of
dependency theory.
The author concludes with an analysis of the most recent
reactions against economic imperialism and dependency theory, and
concludes with an assessment of their implications for the further
economic development of todaya (TM)s Third World.
