Six key weaknesses of the Warren thesis on capitalist development in the Third World are identified and examined. This critical evaluation is located in the context of the formation of development theory. In particular, the discussion of Warren's work provides a basis for marshalling arguments against the pervasiveness of economism. Arguments are presented not only against the rule of economism but also against the theoretical sovereignty of the economic (econocentrism). By way of conclusion, a few suggestions are offered for a possible reorientation of our theoretical approach to Third World development
