ben selwyn, gershcenkorn and trotsky (2012)

(426) institutional innovation enables adoption of technology, its not a given

(429) backwardness generates an industrial response (Gerschenkron)

(433) elements of Nazi ideology present in Junkers' attempt to win over peasantry

(436) Gerschenkron saw principal barriers as internal--but political sovereignty and w-system are important, obv. 

(439) Gershenkron's c-tendencies anticipate cumulative causation

(444) Chang and company are guilty of the 'fallacy of composition' because they don't quite acknowledge that conditions change (i.e., become more exacting) as time and the world-system advances
