The central argument of the book is that development is a ‘totality’, which cannot properly be understood by separation into parts. The ‘developed’ and ‘underdeveloped’ countries constitute one interdependent system, and change in one cannot be understood without consideration of the other.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45564876849390,"sku":"9780415602037","price":252.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/interdependent-development-hardback","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
