Abstract
Asked to define underdevelopment, Celso Furtado replied in his characteristically north-eastern Brazilian accent: There is no need to define underdevelopment; just go out and look; that is underdevelopment! Yet, his greatest contribution to development thought was a thorough understanding of underdevelopment and its determinants.
