Dependence on East or West for capital accumulation blocks non-capitalist industrialization in developing countries
Evidence
What stands in the way of this great chance for a non-capitalist form of industrialization is, unfortunately, the fact that most of these developing countries depend, for better or worse, on the developed industrial countrieseither of the West or of the Eastfor their original accumulation of capital. At any rate, I believe that, objectively, the militant liberation movements in the developing countries today represent the strongest potential force for radical transformation. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 648
