218 pages. The Global Political Economy of Ral Prebisch offers an original analysis of g lobal political economy by examining it through the ideas, agency and influence of one of its most important thinkers, leaders and personalities. Prebisch's gro und-breaking ideas as an economist - the terms-of-trade thesis and the economic case for state-led industrialization - changed the world and guided economic pol icy across the global South. As the head of two UN bodies - the Economic Commiss ion for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) and later the United Nations Con ference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) - he was at the frontline of key North -South political struggles for a fairer global distribution of wealth and the re gulation of transnational corporations. Prebisch increasingly came to view pol itical power, not just economic capabilities, as pivotal to shaping the institut ions and rules of the world economy. This book contextualizes his ideas, explori ng how they were used and their relevance to contemporary issues. The neoliberal turn in economics in North America, Western Europe and across the global South led to an active discrediting of Prebisch's theories and this volume offers an i mportant corrective, reintroducing current and future generations of scholars an d students to this important body of work and allowing a richer understanding of past and ongoing political struggles. Editorial Reviews Review This is a ter rific volume which contributes to a much-needed movement away from the dominant intellectual histories of global political economy and their 'peripheralising' o f non-English-speaking and non-Western thinking and thinkers. But it also develo ps an important and thought-provoking reflection on what taking this step means.…

The Global Political Economy of Raúl Prebisch offers an original analysis of global political economy by examining it through the ideas, agency and influence of one of its most important thinkers, leaders and personalities. Prebisch’s ground-breaking ideas as an economist – the terms-of-trade thesis and the economic case for state-led industrialization – changed the world and guided economic policy across the global South. As the head of two UN bodies – the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) and later the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) – he was at the frontline of key North–South political struggles for a fairer global distribution of wealth and the regulation of transnational corporations.
Prebisch increasingly came to view political power, not just economic capabilities, as pivotal to shaping the institutions and rules of the world economy. This book contextualizes his ideas, exploring how they were used and their relevance to contemporary issues. The neoliberal turn in economics in North America, Western Europe and across the global South led to an active discrediting of Prebisch’s theories and this volume offers an important corrective, reintroducing current and future generations of scholars and students to this important body of work and allowing a richer understanding of past and ongoing political struggles.
