| The ECLA Thesis part1 | The ECLA Thesis, developed by the Argentine economist Raúl Prébisch, states: Over time the prices of finished products rise faster than the prices of primary products (raw materials). |
| The ECLA Thesis part2 | Since Latin America has traditionally produced primary products and exchanged them with international trading partners for finished products, this has led to Latin America’s indebtedness, and, by extension economic dependency, to its trading partners. |
| Skidmore, Smith, and Green Thesis part1 | Dependent economic development distorts the expected social and political results of Modernization. Instead of yielding social equality dependent economic growth yields social inequality. |
| Skidmore, Smith, and Green Thesis part2 | Instead of producing individual democracy dependent economic growth yields political authoritarianism. |
