Rethinking Development

The book examines the critical relationship between development and underdevelopment, emphasizing their impact on global life chances. It explores Marx's views on capitalist development and his insights into under-developed Russia, alongside Lenin's critiques of populism and imperialism. Rosa Luxemburg's theories connect these ideas to contemporary thoughts on imperialism and capitalism's necessity for growth. It further analyzes Latin American dependency theories, post-development critiques, and indigenous development perspectives from Andean Marxism, culminating in a discussion on globalization's role in under-development.
