In the current issue of _Economic and Political Weekly_ there is a 7-page article on "Diffusion of Development" by Prabhat Patnaik which I have *attached*. Recalling arguments by Paul Baran and others that there is a limit to the 'spontaneous diffusion' of development under capitalism, the author argues that a 'more immediate' limit to the development of different regions in the world capitalist economy is the "unwillingness of the leading capitalist economy to sustain a growing claim upon its wealth by outsiders". Do you agree with this argument? In solidarity, Jerry
