Talk:Samir Amin

message: I don't feel that I can take up this task, because I am not familiar enough with Samir Amin's books, or rather, I haven't read any of his books, articles etc. (yet). However, I do have some recommendations for imporiving the 'work' section for those who are capable enough. Firstly instead of using references in the scientific way† just use the wikipedia system. Secondly the article has to be written more prosaic and less powerpoint-like. Thirdly, there are some unclear sentences which should be elucidated:
 "For Samir Amin (1997), the ascent and decline is...". The ascent and decline of what?
 "The economic performance over the last few years...". Specify period
 "Let us recall, that for Dependency and World Systems theory in the tradition of Samir Amin (1975), there are four main characteristics of the peripheral societal formation". Begin the section by discussing depencency & WST and when later referring back to that discussion don't write "Let us recall", but rather "as discussed earlier", thus active over passive.
† E.g. "Samir Amin (1975)".

thread_title: Points for improvement of the 'Work' section

message: There is a far larger page of information on Samir Amin on the Spanish wikipedia (here), but my spanish is nowhere near good enough to translate more than the basics. Proto t c 09:16, 25 August 2005 (UTC)

message: It is a often repeated rumour that Samir Amin knew Saloth Sar (the future Pol Pot) as the two men were students in Paris at the same time. Samir Amin, however, refutes this relationship, stating (in "A Life Looking Forward", his autobiography  p75, english edition, Zed Books):
"...I  only came across Saloth Sar on two occasions; he soon ended his studies and returned to Cambodia. Unscrupulous journalists have since embroidered on the issue of my 'relations' with Khieu Samphan, and I have even been described as his 'mentor'. That is a stupid calumny. He was exactly the same age as myself, and there is no way I could ever have been his intellectual guide."
Samir Amin here does not deny having relations with Khieu Samphan, indeed knowing they were so close in age may give the impression they were reasonably close. It is, however, worth noting that Samir Amin is keen to distance himself from the Khymer Rouge.
