Reinert and Ingrid Harvold Kvangraven Index 406Reviews'At the core of this edited book is the crucial place of imperialism in explaining uneven development. Erik Reinert is an outstanding development economist. In criticizing Eurocentric orthodox economics, which is expressed in mathematics, he, Ingrid Harvold Kvangraven, and the other authors reveal a notable knowledge of economics and the history of economic thought.' -- Luiz Carlos Bresser-Pereira, Fundacao Getulio Vargas, Brazil 'The boundless erudition of Erik Reinert animates this collection, augmented by the diverse expertise of many colleagues, and underpinned by their shared grasp of how and why the great voices of progressive political economy - List, Carey, Peshine Smith to name several - were stilled and forgotten as narrow dogmas came to rule the economic roost.' -- James K. Galbraith, The University of Texas at Austin, US 'Uneven development is not an aberration: it's been a central feature of capitalism through its history. This fascinating book provides many insights into this process: providing spatial and temporal analyses; identifying causes and consequences; linking with institutions and regulations; even showing how it can be associated with technological retrogression in some cases. Essential reading for anyone interested in economic development.' -- Jayati Ghosh, University of Masschusetts Amherst, US ‘At the core of this edited book is the crucial place of imperialism in explaining uneven development.
