Patnaik's starting point is the fundamental question of how we can explain the resilience and durability of capitalist economies-. He argues that the existence of a periphery of less developed countries provides a buffer that allows (relatively) crisis-free and non-inflationary growth in the capitalist core. His analysis unifies two fields that are normally separate: models of growth and stabilization policy in advanced economies and the economics of open, developing economies.
