Review 4 -- No Title

In recent years, mainstream economists interested in the problems of the so-called developing nations have become more and more estranged from the analyses of other social scientists interested in the same problems. There has also for many years been a tradition of interest in such problems by economists who are not in the mainstream of economics as practiced in North America. Hence, one can argue the existence of a case for a book such as this one, that attempts to bridge the gap between the more conventional economic approaches to these questions and the alternatives offered by dependistas, those working in the Marxist tradition, and the analyses offered by political scientists and sociologists working in the self-styled "political economy" schools.
