Abstract

This essay investigates some contributions to the economic theory of development from Latin America and the English-speaking Caribbean, based on the concept of external dependency and the institutionalization of underdevelopment. It seeks to demonstrate that there is an underlying similarity in the methodology of the two schools of thought. This similarity derives from a common need to find an appropriate theoretical frame of reference for the interpretation and analysis of the economic process in both regions. It is often argued that the development of the "economic theory of dependency" is at heart a response to the dynamics of social and economic changes in both regions: however, it is truly a part of the process of changes themselves.
