Underdevelopment and economic surplus: a possible connection between the contributions of Paul Baran and Celso Furtado
Abstract
To characterize the current processes of development in Latin America is relevant recovering pioneering approaches in the discussion of underdevelopment. In this sense, by refuting the development standard thesis based on developing phases, the contributions of Paul Baran (monopolistic marxism) and Celso Furtado (latinoamerican structuralism) are two of the main visions to define the peripheral condition of our subcontinent. This paper assesses the main thesis of these authors concerning the characterization of underdevelopment, based on the concept of economic surplus, seeking the conecting links between them.
