Cepal Review is the leading journal for the study of economic and social development issues in Latin America and the Caribbean. Edited by the Economic Commission for Latin America, each issue focuses on economic trends, industrialization, income distribution, technological development and monetary systems, as well as the implementation of reforms and transfer of technology.

The opening up of Latin America to the exterior
Author: Aníbal PintoIn an article which appeared in issue No. 9 (December 1979) of the CEPAL Re vie tv, the author analysed the internationalization of the world economy and its significance and consequences for the periphery. As a follow-up to that article, and within the same general framework, he now raises the controversial question of Latin America’s opening up to the exterior.

Domestic technological development
Authors: Ricardo Cibotti and Jorge LucdngeliA considerable proportion of the studies carried out on technical progress in Latin America has been based on the assumption —often implicit— that the technological behaviour of our societies as regards the introduction of new technical processes or products is almost entirely passive. What is more, economic theory too adopts this assumption in explaining the ways in which technical know-how is transferred from the developed to the developing countries.

Economic development and theories of value
Author: Armando Di FilippoIf economics is to supply more reliable interpretations of development in concrete historical cases it is essential that it should break through the narrow limits within which it has been confined by theories o f value based on the assumption of general equilibrium. The conception of value as power proposed by the author is aimed specifically at lessening the rigidity of the categories of economic analysis so that they can easily incorporate contributions from other social sciences.

The peasant economy: Internal logic, articulation and persistence
Author: Alexander SchejtmanPerception of peasant agriculture as a segment of the economy with its own logic, different from the capitalist type, is of relative recent date in Latin American literature on agrarian issues.

External sector statistics for development planning: A matter for statisticians and planners?
Author: Mario MovarecEver since its creation CEPAL has sought to foster the improvement of statistics, and to that end has encouraged discussion of the subject between planners and statisticians on several occasions. The author believes that in the case of foreign trade statistics, leaving aside the important action which may be taken by these professionals in the future, certain obstacles prevent their improvement because of the influence of certain factors which are directly linked to the external sector and which do not arise in other sectors of statistics.

On the article by Raúl Prebisch “Towards a theory of change”
Author: Gert RosenthalIn Latin America there is nothing new about the debate between those who advocate the optimal allocation of economic resources through the market mechanism and those who prescribe different degrees of State intervention to remedy alleged shortcomings in that allocating mechanism: “the invisible hand” versus “State control”. In recent years, the discussion has become fiercer and more polarized, perhaps owing to the ineffectiveness of several moderately reformist programmes tried out during the 1960s in the favourable conditions created by the so-called “Alliance for Progress”.
