Answer to Question #225580 in Economics for Palta

Question

Explain The International - Dependence Revolution

Answer 1

This is an indirect result of Marxist thinking, which attributes the existence and persistence of backwardness between rich and poor countries, above all, to the historical evolution of an extremely unequal international capitalist system. In this system, rich countries are deliberately exploited or inadvertently neglected, and the international system is dominated by unequal power relations between the center and the periphery. This makes it difficult for poor countries to develop.

The situation is supported by power groups (landlords, entrepreneurs, military leaders, merchants, civil servants, trade union leaders, etc.). These groups have high incomes, social status, political power, and constitute an elite ruling class whose main interest is to knowingly or unknowingly perpetuate the international capitalist system of inequality for which they are rewarded. Therefore, backwardness is seen as a phenomenon caused by the outside.
