Samir Amin: Pioneer of the Rise of the South
Samir Amin (Egypt/France) is a leading intellectual on underdevelopment and the critique of capitalism. Dieter Senghaas (Germany) presents him as a Pioneer of the Rise of the South. These texts by Samir Amin have been selected for the purpose of encouraging readers to learn more of his work in tracing the historical trajectory of capitalism, which has consistently produced polarization at the global level. Thus the dominated peripheries cannot hope to catch up with the social organization prevailing in the dominant centres. Hence the impossibility of global capitalism being stabilized in its peripheries has resulted in the long decline of capitalism coinciding with successive waves of active involvement by the peoples of the South to shape a new world, potentially embarked on the long road to socialism. Amin presents this major conflict of the 20th century and identifies the new challenges that the system now faces in the 21st century. His analysis is conducted in terms of historical materialism and should be a useful tool for activists struggling for socialism. Their progress cannot be separated from that of the emancipation of the Asian, African and Latin American peoples.
This book includes in Part 1: 1 Biographical Notes; 2 Bibliography. Part 2 offers 4 key texts on the Theory of Historical Capitalism: 3 Theoretical Model of Accumulation and Development in the Contemporary World; 4 Unity and Change in the Ideology of Political Economy; 5 Is Social History Marked by Overdetermination or Underdetermination? 6 Multipolarity in the 20th Century. Part 3 on the Contemporary Challenge analyses 7 The Center Will Not Hold: The Rise and Decline of Liberalism; 8 The Countries of the South Must Take Their Own Independent Initiatives; 9 The Democratic Fraud and the Universalist Alternative; 10 Land Reforms: Desirable Land Tenure Reforms in Africa and Asia; 11 Transnational Capitalism; 12 Africa 50 years of Independence; 13 Aid; 14 Emergence and Lumpen Development, 15 Synthesis.



Samir Amin (Egypt/France), was born in Cairo as son of an Egyptian father and a French mother (both medical doctors). He spent his childhood and youth in Port Said, where he attended a French High School and obtained a Baccalauréat (1947). He studied in Paris (1947-1957) with degrees in political science (1952),statistics (1956) and economics (1957). His PhD thesis (1957) was on: The origins of underdevelopment - capitalist accumulation on a world scale but retitled The structural effects of the international integration of precapitalist economies. A theoretical study of the mechanism which creates so-called underdeveloped economies. He worked in Cairo (1957-1960) for the government's "Institution for Economic Management". He was an adviser to the Ministry of Planning in Bamako (Mali) (1960-1963). In 1963 received a fellowship at the Institut Africain de Développement Économique et de Planification (IDEP), where he worked until 1970 besides being a professor at the university of Poitiers, Dakar and Paris (of Paris VIII, Vincennes). In 1970 he became director of the IDEP, which he managed until 1980. In 1980 Amin left the IDEP and became a director of the Third World Forum in Dakar.
