“At a moment when dependency theory is having a revival, Antunes de Oliveira’s deep and innovative reading of key insights from Latin American dependency theorists is timely. The book is a must-read for anyone interested in efforts to understand trajectories of social, political, and economic change in Brazil and Argentina from a non-Eurocentric starting point.”
—Ingrid Harvold Kvangraven, King’s College
“Dependency and Crisis in Brazil and Argentina: A Critique of Market and State Utopias is an excellent study of the tensions between neoliberalism and neodevelopmentalism in these two countries. Antunes de Oliveira’s comparative approach and his deep knowledge provide a new, rich history of political and economic disappointment. This study is a major contribution to development studies and Latin American studies.” —Michael A. Cohen, The New School
