ROPE: Development Economics: Aptly Or Wrongly Named?

Underdevelopment is rooted in a specific connexion, created in a particular historical setting, between an internal process of exploitation and an external process of dependence.

– Celso Furtado, 1973, republished in ROPE, Volume 33, 2021, Issue 1.

The latest issue of Review Of Political Economy is about how the idea of development economics to emulate the west has failed.

How can it work, as the liberal international order works for the “north” at the expense of the “south”.

The issue includes two articles by Celso Furtado from the 70s but unpublished before.
