TLDR
For example, this article pointed out that most of our theoretical categories and guides to development policy have been distilled exclusively from the historical experience of the European and North American advanced capitalist nations, and that most historians study only the developed metropolitan countries and pay scant attention to the colonial and underdeveloped lands.Abstract:
We cannot hope to formulate adequate development theory and policy for the majority of the world's population who suffer from underdevelopment without first learning how their past economic and social history gave rise to their present underdevelopment. Yet most historians study only the developed metropolitan countries and pay scant attention to the colonial and underdeveloped lands. For this reason most of our theoretical categories and guides to development policy have been distilled exclusively from the historical experience of the European and North American advanced capitalist nations.This article can also be found at the Monthly Review website, where most recent articles are published in full.Click here to purchase a PDF version of this article at the Monthly Review website.read more

Mantega G,Moraes M +1 more
TL;DR: The authors traces the debates within the left and right wings of Brazilian political economy from the 1960s to the present day, relating them to changes in political and economic conditions, and attempts to show that many of the positions held by economists in the 1970s resemble those held by earlier theorists in that the majority make stagnationist and underconsumptionist assumptions.
