The Dialectics of Dependency

Más información sobre el libro

Ruy Mauro Marini explores the dynamics of underdevelopment and dependency in Latin America, arguing that the region's specialization in raw materials and reliance on imported goods fostered unequal economic exchanges. This process led to the superexploitation of workers, as capitalists in peripheral economies sought profits while remaining subordinate to imperialist powers. Written amid significant class struggles in the 1970s, this foundational essay highlights the ongoing relevance of these themes for contemporary global revolutionary movements and the lives of Latin American workers.
