Sub-imperialism and dependency in Latin America
The thought of Ruy Mauro Marini
Author Adrian Sotelo Valencia.
This book by Adrián Sotelo Valencia represents a significant theoretical and empirical effort to update the work of Ruy Mauro Marini in light of the major issues of the contemporary world and Latin America. In it, the author presents the fundamental propositions of Marxist dependency theory through Marini's concepts, especially the category of sub-imperialism, which constitutes one of the most important and transcendent contributions of Latin American social thought and dependency theory within the diverse range of development paradigms that emerged in the period following World War II. Through a didactic exposition of the fundamental theoretical concepts of Marxist dependency theory in the 21st century, Sotelo Valencia's reflections invite us to think about the contemporary world in an emancipatory and critical way, revealing key dimensions of the patterns of capital accumulation that shape contemporary neo-imperialism and neo-dependency.
