Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Episodes in the history of Latin American social sciences and the various discursive formations communicated by means of a Western-centric language might be especially uncomfortable or intractable to the reader, if the narrative that follows aims to reveal a whole set of misapprehensions by the Western-centric tradition. Starting with the misrecognition of the existence of an autochthonous regional discourse on economics, which requires reexamination. Hopefully, the narrative will become “uncomfortable”, which means that the account has a tale to tell!

This Is More So With Regard To The Explanation Of Colonialism In India Under British Rule And The Domination Exercised Upon This Ancient Land By European Countries. Raul Prebisch Had Explained The Situation In Latin American Countries As A Whole. His Contributions Are Of Limited Application Only. But, The Ideas Of F. Perroux Are Of A Very Original Nature In Modern Economics And Are Of Great Significance In Interpreting The Various Aspects Of Development In Asia And Africa. Much More Research Work Must Be Done In The Same Direction In The Years To Come, And It Will Be Profitable To Knowledge In Social Sciences And Humanities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Global Political Economy of Raúl 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.
