Abstract
This paper traces the development of Marxist theory on the problems of economic backwardness. Beginning with Marx's own writing, the paper examines the major theoretical and political developments in the history of Marxism, which contributed to the reorientation of Marxist thinking from the problems of the developed world to the problems of the underdeveloped world. An attempt is made to show both the relevance of the Marxist tradition to analysis of underdevelopment and the problems which the heirs to this tradition must deal with.
