Dependency and Development in Latin America (book)

"Dependency and Development in Latin America" explores how historical economic reliance on foreign powers and multinational corporations shaped the region's growth. It examines how Latin American countries became dependent on exporting primary goods, limiting their industrialization and economic independence. The book analyzes the effects of this dependency on social inequality, political stability, and overall development. It also discusses efforts to break free from these patterns and pursue more autonomous, diversified economic paths, highlighting the complex relationship between external influences and internal progress in Latin America's development story.
