Gerald L,
Its all quite sketchy really. The paper was just meant as a summary
and critique of most of the development schools to familiarze people
with their thinking and hopefully spur more thinking, reading and
debate.
A serious scholarly work would include people like
J.Bhagwati,B.Belassa, S.Lall, A Sen, A Bhaduri,A Krueger, Douglass North
and maybe even Dornbusch (yuck). Samir Amin deserves better discussion
too. Quite frankly, I couldn't be bothered going over Kuznets, Lewis,
and the Harrod-Domar and Solow growth models again. Because of their
methodology and narrow scope I just don't think they speak to us
today.I'm mostly interested in how capitalism impedes development, how
(the political and class developed)current trade and finance patterns
ensure a subsidiary role for the peripheral countries. How, what Doug H
calls the 'Americanization' of finance will play out in developing
core-periphery relations.
I've read the Chilcote/Edelstein book. I even have a copy of it. It's
very good though dated and still a little thin on Spanish/Portuguese
language theorists. I recomment Cristobal Kay and Jorge Larrain.
You are a professional economist, what do you think?
