Summary
For general surveys of the development of economic thought in Latin America since the Second World War, see Albert Fishlow, ‘The state of Latin American economies’, in Inter-American Development Bank, Economic and Social Progress in Latin America: 1985 Report (Washington, D. C., 1986), 123–48; republished in Christopher Mitchell (ed.), Changing Perspectives in Latin American Studies: Insights from Six Disciplines (Stanford, Calif., 1988). Fishlow covers the rise and decline of the several schools of thought, based on their policy outcomes. Also valuable is Cristóbal Kay, Latin American Theories of Development and Underdevelopment (London, 1989), which offers a sympathetic but critical review of structuralism and dependency and related works on marginality and internal colonialism. A briefer survey which gives particular attention to policy issues is Felipe Pazos, ‘Cincuenta años de pensamiento económico en la América Latina’, TE, 50/4 (1983), 1915–48. An old but still useful survey of Latin American adaptations of extracontinental ideas is Juan Noyola Vázquez, ‘La evolución del pensamiento económico del último cuarto de siglo y su influencia en la América Latina’, TE, 23/3 (1956), 269–83.
Three works may serve to indicate the impact of Latin American ideas on development theory at large. H. W. Arndt, Economic Development: The History of an Idea (Chicago, 1987), especially 119–30, places structuralism and dependency in broad historical context. Björn Hettne, Development Theory and the Three Worlds (Harlow, Eng., 1990), attempts to address underdevelopment and development in a non-Eurocentric and interdisciplinary framework, and in this context Latin American ideas play a prominent role. Dieter Senghaas, The European Experience: A Historical Critique of Development Theory (Dover, N.H., 1985), incorporates structuralist and dependency perspectives in a comparative treatment of European and non-European economic development, emphasizing ‘selective de-linking’ as a historically-proven development strategy.
