Rethinking Development

Mehr zum Buch

The book delves into the critical relationship between development and underdevelopment, asserting their influence on global life chances more than social class. It examines Marx's views on capitalist development and his insights on underdeveloped Russia, alongside Lenin's critiques of populism and imperialism's impact on non-European development. The author highlights Rosa Luxemburg's contributions and explores various theories from Latin America and Andean Marxism. Ultimately, it questions whether under-development stems from insufficient capitalism rather than its presence, linking these ideas to globalization.
