Abstract
Rather than challenging specific points ofBoianovsky’s (2019)interpretation,this contribution takes a step back and asks: in what other ways it would havebeen possible to conceptualize and observe the influence of classical politicaleconomy on Lewis’s work? In doing so, we shift the focus from developmenteconomics to the broader sphere of“development.”The discourse built around“development”(of which development economics represented an importantintellectual infrastructure) can be read as a framework rearticulating the rela-tionship between past, present and future, and presenting a reflection on the rele-vance and applicability of European economic and political history to Asia,Africa, and Latin AmericaI documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
