Renovar nuestras ideas: Un Imperativo
Son muchos y dramáticos los problemas que afronta América Latina y el área del Caribe; para afrontarlos se necesita renovar y reconsiderar las ideas acerca de éstos. Hay una imitación de las formas de consumo de los centros, por parte de los estratos más altos de la población, en desmedro de la acumulación de capital; surgen nuevas formas de consumo privado y social que se superponen a aquéllas y su aumento tiende a superar el ritmo de incremento…
Pensamiento y obra
Desigualdade e acumulação de capital no capitalismo periférico
O artigo argumenta que nos países em desenvolvimento as mudanças nas relações políticas e sociais assim como o progresso técnico criam uma tendência sistemática para um desequilíbrio dinâmico entre consumo e investimento. Nessas condições, a continuidade do crescimento requer uma política macroeconômica voltada para o aumento da taxa de acumulação por meio da redução do consumo agregado tanto das classes capitalistas quanto das classes trabalhado…
Notes on trade from the standpoint of the periphery
The necessity of generating foreign exchange in order to pay off interest on the external debt once again brings to the fore the topic of centre/periphery trade relations, of their implicit potential, and of the obstacles that hamper them

I. Introducción1. La realidad está destruyendo en la América Latina aquel pretérito esquema de la división internacional del trabajo que, después de haber adquirido gran vigor en el siglo XIX, seguía prevaleciendo doctrinariamente
The external debt of the Latin American countries
Until a short time ago, the view was frequently held that the worst was over in relation to the external debt of the developing countries: interest rates would fall and a revival of trade was just around the corner

The global crisis of capitalism and its theoretical background
Central and peripheral capitalist countries alike are facing the present crisis without having discovered how to deal with the fundamental dilemmas of accumulation and distribution, which are clearly evidenced in the trend towards an imbalance between the growth rate of private and public expenditure and that of reproductive investment, and in the difficulty —especially acute in the periphery— of finding solutions for the problems of growth, empl…
The crisis of capitalism and international trade
Full understanding of the nature of the present crisis calls for an interpretation which is at once broad enough to cover both the centres and the periphery and deep enough to penetrate beyond the superficial manifestations of the problem to the very heart of its causes
Monetarism, open-economy policies and the ideological crisis
In his recent articles, and especially in his latest book (Capitalismo periférico. Crisis y transformación, Fondo de Cultura Económica, Mexico City, 1981), the author pays special attention to the role played by monetary mechanisms in peripheral capitalism and to the meaning and limits of their use by the monetary authority
A historic turning point for the Latin American periphery
In the face of the critical economic situation through which most of the countries of Latin America are passing, the author presents his interpretation of this and outlines the measures which should be taken to deal with it
The Latin American periphery in the global system of capitalism
In a series of articles, appearing above all in this Review, the author has gradually been giving form to his mature view of the economic, social and political structure and transformations of Latin America. In this process of further perfecting his ideas by giving them greater depth and coherence, the present article represents a major step, being a concise summary of the main lines of thought which he is developing in three closely interrelated…
Dialogue on Friedman and Hayek: From the standpoint of the periphery
In all his recent writings, the author has maintained that neoclassical thinking is not only incapable of explaining the structure and operation of capitalism in the periphery, but has a misguiding influence on economic policy decisions. In the present article he reverts to these ideas, formulating them as if they came up in the course of a dialogue carried out with followers of the two leading contemporary mentors of the thinking in question; th…
Capitalism: The second crisis
Raul Prebisch on Latin American Development
Biosphere and development
In some of his recent articles —in particular those appearing in numbers 6 and 10 of this Review— the author’s object has been to describe the principal components and relationships characterizing the structure of peripheral capitalism, to bring to light the fundamental conflicts which it generates as it evolves, and to sketch out guidelines for its transformation
Towards a theory of change
With the present article the author rounds off the series he began with “A critique of peripheral capitalism” (published in Review No. 1), and continued with “Socio-economic structure and crisis of peripheral capitalism” (No. 6) and “The neoclassical theories of economic liberalism” (No. 7). While in all the preceding articles his main concern was to offer a critical interpretation of the functioning of peripheral capitalism and to show the inabi…
The neoclassical theories of economic liberalism
In the present essay the author propounds his answer to one of the problems with which he has been most deeply concerned throughout his long life as an economist. Beginning as a firm upholder of neoclassical theories, he was convinced by the world depression of the nineteen-thirties and the Second World War that neither in theoretical nor in practical terms can the problems of our peripheral situation be resolved through economic ideas worked out…
Socio-economic structure and crisis of peripheral capitalism
In the present article the author continues and expands the critical analysis of peripheral capitalism which he began in another that was published in the first issue of this Review. His central contention is that in peripheral societies the development process — whereby the accumulation of capital in the form of goods and training of human resources makes it possible to step up the productivity of the labour force and thus to increase the total …
A critique of peripheral capitalism
The purpose of this article is to set forth the features, relations and fundamental problems which characterize peripheral development. The analysis principally seeks to throw light on the mechanisms underlying the distribution of the fruits of technological progress among the different social strata. To this end, a detailed account is given of the process of creation of the surplus and of its primary appropriation by the upper strata (through th…

Joint Responsibilities for Latin American Progress
THESE are decisive years for Latin America's economic, social and political future and for its relationships with the great powers. Time is running out, and much of it has al ready been lost, especially by those in Latin America who have been hoping vainly for external solutions to our problems; it has been lost, too, by those who advised us from abroad to ensure the free play of economic forces so that our development could be strongly supported…
