kenya, what does dependency mean?, colin leys

(109): critique of kaplinsky. evidence points to fact of african capital's entry; kaplinsky denies this by asserting mitigating factors that, actually, match up with history of capitalist development more generally (hand of State, help of foreign capital, beginnings as petty capital, etc.)

(111, 112): citing Bill Warren's critique, in which it's asserted that dependency theorists rely on an 'idealized' model of capitalist development (in which there's no unevenness, no inequalities, no cycles). this is taken as evidence of inability to break out of underdevelopment [the strong version of this critique is of course nonsense]
