The last thing i read about Frank (and by Frank as well) on "the development of underdevelopment, was "THE UNDERDEVELOPMENT OF DEVELOPMENT: ESSAYS IN HONOUR OF ANDRE GUNDER FRANK" ed. by Sing Chew and Robert Denemark, Thousand Oaks: Sage Publications 1996. That is fairly recent, so I take it it still reflect more or less, AG Frank's "current view". His contribution to the book can be found online at http://csf.colorado.edu/agfrank/underdev.html . Let each one derive from it what they will. Or, maybe easier and more accurate, would be directing that same question you posed to AG Frank himself, for the benefit of us all... Cheers, Daniel Pinéu
