About the Author
Andre Gunder Frank was a pioneering economic historian and social scientist whose influential scholarship challenged conventional accounts of development, modernization, and global inequality. Drawing on political economy, history, and sociology, he examined how colonialism, capitalism, and international trade shaped relationships between wealthy and developing regions. His work helped establish dependency theory as a major framework for understanding uneven development and contributed to debates on global economic history. Frank’s ideas continue to inform researchers and readers interested in cities, social change, and the interconnected forces shaping the modern world. His notable work includes The Sustainable Urban Development Reader (Routledge Urban Reader Series).
