Samir Amin

Samir Amin was a prominent Egyptian-French economist and theorist who analyzed global economic systems and development. He critiqued how wealth is distributed worldwide, emphasizing that rich countries often benefit at the expense of poorer nations. Amin advocated for a more equitable global economy and supported developing countries in resisting exploitation. His work focused on understanding capitalism’s effects, promoting ideas like “delinking” from global economic dependencies, and empowering marginalized nations to build fairer economic models.
