Additional text

’The fundamental message of the present book is that the theory of dependency is still relevant, alive and kicking...a real contribution.’ Associate Professor Mohd. Isa Haji Bakar, Universiti Sains Malaysia, Malaysia '...Ghosh has produced a very useful eclectic study of dependency, which is jargon free and therefore accessible to undergraduates, whilst postgraduates will find it an invaluable text...the last chapter is the most original chapter in the book, and here he is able to link the various theoretical issues discussed in earlier chapters, with issues confronting Third World governments...'
