Abstract
In the present essay the author propounds his answer to one of the problems with which he has been most deeply concerned throughout his long life as an economist. Beginning as a firm upholder of neoclassical theories, he was convinced by the world depression of the nineteen-thirties and the Second World War that neither in theoretical nor in practical terms can the problems of our peripheral situation be resolved through economic ideas worked out in the centres; and this conviction was the starting-point of a long process of self-criticism and reformulation of theories.
