Title: The Problem of Capitalist Development: Theoretical Considerations in View of the Industrial Countries and the New Industrial Countries
Abstract: Capitalist development, that is, its economic and social characteristics, as well as the economic and social presuppositions for it, has always been a subject of special interest in Marxist theory. The issue of contemporary capitalist development, however, involves new conditions from those of the past that derive from today's socio-economic, political and theoretical conjuncture, namely, the world crisis of capitalism; the subsequent restructuring processes taking place in almost all capitalist countries; and, above all, the rapid processes of capitalist development in some countries which were until recently considered as 'peripheral' or 'semi-peripheral' (the 'new industrial countries' — NICs). These new conditions compel us to re-examine the theoretical premises of Marxism regarding capitalist development and underdevelopment.
