ABSTRACT
Luxembourg and Brenner had used so as to deal with real data, it suggests that the results
are consistent with the argument they had advanced, that capitalist integration through
the inflow of foreign equity and link with export markets will be destructive initially but
shall eventually offer the opportunity for local accumulation. While the cross-sectional
data did not allow a direct assessment on the changes to the material conditions of
workers, the comparison with evidence from past works shows significant improvement
in mean wages.
