Abstract

This introduction presents the structure of the book and explains how it fits in with the previous elaboration in the tradition of long waves. Freeman (Technology policy and economic performance: lessons from Japan. Pinter Publishers, London, 1987) prepares an insightful scheme of different phases of capitalism according to five different technological revolutions. The objective of this book is to include data regarding contemporary periphery in his scheme: India, China, Russia, Sub-Saharan Africa and Latin America. Based on this perspective, it would seem desirable to look to all these five regions simultaneously in order to investigate the logic of each big bang’s propagation through the periphery. The unevenness of that propagation could be a structural feature, embedded in the system’s inner logic, a feature that only can be ascertained if we include these different and heterogeneous regions in our analysis.
