A landmark work in dependency theory, Capitalism and Underdevelopment in Latin America presents a radical reinterpretation of the economic history of Latin America. Andre Gunder Frank argues that the poverty and underdevelopment of Latin American nations are not the result of isolation from capitalism, but are in fact a direct product of their deep integration into the global capitalist system. Through detailed historical case studies of Brazil and Chile, the work illustrates how metropolitan centres in Europe and North America have systematically extracted surplus from peripheral satellite nations, perpetuating cycles of dependency and inequality. Frank's incisive analysis challenges orthodox development theory and remains one of the most influential and provocative texts in political economy and Latin American studies.
