Re: Global Rift

I also thought that the WORLD ACCUMULATION book (and another one that
Gunder wrote at about the same time call DEPENDENT ACCUMULATION AND
UNDERDEVELOPMENT) was particularly valuable.  I'd strongly recommend both
(regardless of whether the author himself still endorses them, which I'm
not certain about, but would be interested to know...)
