Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. 218 pages. The Global Political Economy of Ral Prebisch offers an original analysis of g lobal political economy by examining it through the ideas, agency and influence of one of its most important thinkers, leaders and personalities. Prebisch's gro und-breaking ideas as an economist - the terms-of-trade thesis and the economic case for state-led industrialization - changed the world and guided economic pol icy across the global South. As the head of two UN bodies - the Economic Commiss ion for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) and later the United Nations Con ference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) - he was at the frontline of key North -South political struggles for a fairer global distribution of wealth and the re gulation of transnational corporations. Prebisch increasingly came to view pol itical power, not just economic capabilities, as pivotal to shaping the institut ions and rules of the world economy. This book contextualizes his ideas, explori ng how they were used and their relevance to contemporary issues. The neoliberal turn in economics in North America, Western Europe and across the global South led to an active discrediting of Prebisch's theories and this volume offers an i mportant corrective, reintroducing current and future generations of scholars an d students to this important body of work and allowing a richer understanding of past and ongoing political struggles.
