Recenzje

"The Latin American 'structuralists' made a Copernican jump in understanding of economic development by taking the closed-system world economy rather than the country as the unit of analysis, and showing 'developed' and 'less developed' to be like Siamese twins. Furtado was a leader of this school, and this short book is an outstanding example of the power of the approach, compared to that of the neoclassical mainstream." Robert H. Wade, London School of Economics
