with interest i read your postings regarding unequal exchange. for a decade
now, kunibert raffer of vienna university in his very important book on
unequal exchange (macmillan, basingstoke, london; and saint martin's press,
new york) has shown the way out from the impasse regarding this important
concept of world system theory. this book debated all these issues which
you raise, and please have a serious look at it.
I assume that kunibert raffer's essays in WORLD DEVELOPMENT are well
known to most of you; but his path-breaking book is still overlooked by the
US world
system debate, in contrast to the European debate!
time for a change!
kind regards
