Professor Samir Amin, director of the Third World Forum, died Sunday, August 12, 2018 in Paris at the age of 87 years. A loss for the world of economy and the progressive circles of North and South. “A Baobab fell,” writes Professor Saliou Sy of the Dakar School in tribute to the Franco-Egyptian economist who had resided in Senegal for more than 40 years.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Associate Professor of Economics, Samir Amin, born in Cairo in 1931, upset the world of development economics with his huge book entitled “Unequal Development. Essay on the social formations of peripheral capitalism, Paris, Ed. “Midnight”, published in 1973 and analyzing the modes of production tributary to the periphery and the capitalist mode of production in the center.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In Samir Amin’s vision, the periphery is blocked in its development by the system of unequal exchange. To get out of this infernal circle, the economies of the periphery must initiate a self-centered development process.<\/strong><\/p>\n

If the Argentine Raul Prebsch, founder of the school the school of Desarrollismo, gave a fundamental diagnosis of the evolution of the products and the manufactured products in time of recession (the last cities increasing faster), Samir Amin he chiseled the theory of development by departing from the Marxist-Leninism fashionable in the 70s and drawing his reasoning from history.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Self-centered development theory<\/strong><\/p>\n

The theory of the “law of unequal development” distinguishes two great stages of history, the pre-capitalist phase and the capitalist phase. The development of the center would come historically from violent forms of accumulation (rapists, slavery, colonization, etc.) then, in the modern era, technical progress and capital returns. The catching up of the center by the periphery can only be done through the creation of other centers.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0An African experience<\/strong><\/p>\n

From 1957 to 1960, he worked in the Egyptian Economic Development Administration and then advised the Government of Mali from 1960 to 1963, before being appointed professor at the Universities of Poitiers, Dakar and Vincennes. He was from 1970, director of the African Institute of Economic Development and Planning of Dakar, then from June 1980, director of research on strategies for the future of Africa.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The website is constantly on the news. The newsletter relays information every morning to executives, bankers, university financiers, students. The monthly edition analyzes the information and explains the setbacks. A single credo initiates our journalistic approach: information = actors, facts = a pluralistic vision.
