About the Author
Samir Amin (1931–2018) was a renowned Egyptian-French Marxist economist and political theorist whose groundbreaking work reshaped understandings of global capitalism, imperialism, and underdevelopment in the Global South. Educated at the University of Paris, Amin spent decades analyzing the dynamics of unequal exchange and dependency, advocating for delinking from the imperialist world system to foster autonomous development paths. His prolific scholarship, spanning over 30 books and numerous essays, critiqued neoliberal globalization and championed polycentric world orders rooted in socialist principles. Amin's incisive critiques continue to influence scholars, activists, and policymakers grappling with the legacies of colonialism and the crises of contemporary capitalism.
