	Andre “Gunder” Frank
		Gunder —nicknamed after a famous long-distance runner- the man, shall be remembered for his courageous personal and professional stance in anti-imperialist struggles.
		Andreas Frank was born on 24 February 1929 in Berlin to German-Jewish parents who in 1933 were forced to flee to Switzerland with Hitler's rise to power.
		Frank's academic accomplishments defy compression into a few words, but it would be fair to say that “ Capitalism and Underdevelopment in Latin America ” (1969) and “ ReOrient ” (1998) are the distillation of a lifetime devoted to hard and lucid thinking.

		Gunder was hardly innumerate, but rightly held, in the language of Myrdal, that there was a "political element in the development of economic theory" that was far more explanatory than the logic of late-19th-century mathematics in revealing the workings of economy and society.
		Gunder treated women with a combination of respect that was composed of one part 19th-century respectful gentlemen (at least the positive depiction of it) mixed with the deep respect of a feminist who understood the struggle of women.
		Gunder's charms and her depth of feeling for him were such that they were a gift to each other, but he also became her struggle, one she bravely and loyally conducted to his end.

	Guardian Unlimited \| Obituaries \| Andre Gunder Frank
		Andre Gunder Frank, who has died aged 76 of cancer, was one of the most prolific and controversial development economists and sociologists of the postwar era.
		Born in Berlin, Frank was the son of a pacifist novelist father, who sent him to a Swiss boarding school at the age of four to escape Nazi Germany.
		Frank became a Keynesian while studying at Swarthmore College, Pennsylvania, for his economics degree, which he gained in 1950, but by the end of his PhD (1957) at the University of Chicago, he had rebelled against his monetarist tutor Milton Friedman, and indeed against all development thinking of US origin.

		Frank's conclusion was that the evidence did appear to support the chronological scheme put forward and, therefore, it also supported the claim that a single world system had existed at this early date.
		Frank's (1993) A and B phases in the third millennium began with 3000–2800 as expansionary while 2700–2600/2500 were categorized as contracting.
		Frank's answer was that it was the generalized contraction in the Levant that forced the Phoenicians to move west.

		Frank's use of what appears to be a rather nebulous literature on cycles is unclear and he resorts at times to the poorly defined idea of Kondratieff waves as an explanatory force.
		Andre Gunder Frank lays down two central arguments in ReOrient which complement one another: 1) the "rise of the West" did not happen due to any internal factors but was predicated on American silver and Asian market; 2) Asia in general and China in particular was the center of global economy until the 19th century.
		Frank also notes that throughout the 18th century the balance of trade between Britain and China was constantly in China's favor and the British could reverse this situation only through forced opium trade in the 19th century.

		Frank saw underdevelopment not as a shortcoming in progress towards prosperity, but as a dynamic process whereby the rich world "underdevelops" weaker global regions.
		Frank was born in Berlin four years before Hitler's ascendency, whereupon his father, a Jewish leftist, organised his family's escape to Switzerland.
		The rest of Frank's life was spent in exile; even his eventual return to Germany followed his escape from the Pinochet tyranny in Chile, where he collaborated with Salvador Allende's socialist experiment.

		Frank further argues that alternation between hegemony and rivalry is characteristic of the world system and, finally, that long economic cycles of ascending and descending phases of prosperity lie beneath economic growth in the world system.
		Frank takes particular care in differentiating between the concepts of 'control' and 'domination.' During this period, there was nothing exceptional about Europe in its ability to dominate world trade.
		Frank's recognition of a continuous structural unity of the world from the Bronze Age envisions the global economy as an organic whole.

		Frank went on to argue that in every nation of the Western hemisphere except the United States the landowner-merchant sector won the Civil War, the last of which wracked Chile in the 1890s, just as England was being replaced by the United States as the preeminent outside power to which the landowners-merchants tied their fortunes.

		The "Gunder" tag arose from a school jibe about his slowness compared to the Swedish runner Gundar Haag.
		Despite the many causes for pessimism, Frank maintained that the disadvantaged of the world would act to protect their lives and interests.

		André Gunder Frank is by far the most cited and most discussed, as shown by a number of studies on the subject and by the more than 30,000 entries he has on the Internet.
		André received his academic training in the “snake pit”: he got his doctorate at the University of Chicago where he coexisted with the generation of brilliant conservatives who so deformed the social sciences from the ’50s through the ’70s, leading finally in the ’80s to the hegemonic orthodoxy that continues to asphyxiate us.
		Frank lived this reality very intensely, with the support of his wife Marta, who was Chilean.

		Andre Gunder Frank challenges us to thoroughly reevaluate our understanding of the world economy between 1400-1800, and provides us with enough evidence to command a reorientation of our perspective on this period.
		Gunder Frank's ReOrient will prove an instant classic, rating among those great books that come along once in a generation, such as with Arnold Toynbee's The Study of History, William McNeill's The Rise of the West, and Immanuel Wallerstein's The World-System as seminal works in world history.
		For scholars researching the onset of industrialism and the West's eventual dominance, they will be introduced to a whole new set of questions found in neither Marx nor Weber that require exploration if they are to plumb the depths of this historical terrain.
