ABSTRACT
Nobody is in possession of the revealed truth today, neither in the North nor in the South. We all catch glimpses of the truth, we have carried out analyses, some of which are promising, but we cannot accept what the North thinks as the revealed truth. I have every respect for the ideas of the North, but they must not necessarily be taken at their face value. It is essential that some day all of us, those of the North and those of the South together, set ourselves to explore the nature of our problems, discarding dogmas and preconceived ideas, until we reach a measure of common ground. (From a speech delivered by Raúl Prebisch (1986a:16) shortly before his death in 1986.)
