Andre Gunder Frank
Andre Gunder Frank was a German-American economic historian and sociologist who promoted Dependency theory after 1970 and World-System Theory after 1984. He employed some Marxian concepts on political economy, but rejected Marx's stages of history, and economic history generally. In his more recent work he focussed his attention on the analysis of the crisis in world economy and then also on global world history.
