The Global Political Economy of Raul Prebisch offers an original
analysis of global political economy by examining it through the
ideas, agency and influence of one of its most important thinkers,
leaders and personalities. Prebisch's ground-breaking ideas as an
economist - the terms-of-trade thesis and the economic case for
state-led industrialization - changed the world and guided economic
policy across the global South. As the head of two UN bodies - the
Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) and
later the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development
(UNCTAD) - he was at the frontline of key North-South political
struggles for a fairer global distribution of wealth and the
regulation of transnational corporations. Prebisch increasingly
came to view political power, not just economic capabilities, as
pivotal to shaping the institutions and rules of the world economy.
This book contextualizes his ideas, exploring how they were used
and their relevance to contemporary issues. The neoliberal turn in
economics in North America, Western Europe and across the global
South led to an active discrediting of Prebisch's theories and this
volume offers an important corrective, reintroducing current and
future generations of scholars and students to this important body
of work and allowing a richer understanding of past and ongoing
political struggles.
