Andre Gunder Frank’s book which was written at the very beginning of the ascent of the ‘Dependence theory’ is a difficult book to read and to review. It does not make for easy reading partly because the draft which was prepared in 1963, was published almost without change after a lapse of several years. As the author himself points out in the preface, he has ‘left the speculative—almost stream of consciousness—and often cumbersome, style unchanged.’
