Does anybody on pen-l know of any good references on (or special insight into) the subject of the Marxian theory of "uneven and combined development." I am specifically thinking of the theory that the Bolsheviks invoked in the early 20th century, rather than the dependency school's "uneven development" (to use Samir Amin's phrase), even though I know that the two theories are related, to some extent overlapping, and to some extent conflicting with, each other. thanks ahead of time. in pen-l solidarity, Jim Devine [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Econ.
