FOOTNOTES

  • Among the earlier writers on the process of capital accumulation on a world-scale see Bukharin Nicolai Imperialism and World Economy Howard Fertig New York 1966 especially Parts I and III; Rosa Luxemburg, The Accumulation of Capital (London: Routledge and Kegan Paul, 1963), especially Section 3, “The historical conditions of accumulation”; V.I. Lenin, Imperialism: Vie Highest Stage of Capitalism (New York: International Publishers, 1939). During the 1920s and 1930s, with the growth of Stalinism and nationalism, the world-historic approach virtually disappeared, re-emerging in the 1960s and 1970s. An excellent account of the degeneration of the communist movement can be found in Fernando Claudin, The Communist Movement: From Comin-term to Cominform (New York: Monthly Review, 1975). Among the contemporary workswhich are relevant, see Ernest Mandel, Marxist Economic Theory (New York:Monthly Review 1968), especially Vol.1, Ch.4 and Vol.11, Ch.13; Ernest Mandel, Late Capitalism (London: New Left Books, 1975), Chs. 2 and 1l; SamirAmin, Accumulation on a World Scale (New York: Monthly Review, 1974), a summary statement of Amin's model can be found in “Accumulation and development: a theoretical model”, Review of African Political Economy, No.1, pp.9–26; Andre Gunder Frank, Capitalism and Underdevelopment in Latin America (New York: Monthly Review, 1969); I.
