Monopoly power and uneven development: Baran revisited
批判性审视巴兰关于发达国家垄断势力加剧穷国不发达的理论，并构建一个南北模型精确界定不平衡发展机制，证明该过程无需依赖帝国主义概念。
Baran examined the implications of the rise in monopoly power in advanced economies for the underdevelopment in poor countries, and the process of uneven development on a world scale. This article examines his work critically, and then presents a North‐South model which defines uneven development in a precise manner, and analyses the mechanism by which the rise in monopoly power leads to such uneven development. It is shown that the process can work even without reference to imperialism, which is a central, but controversial, element in Baran's analysis.
