Enzo Faletto was a chilean sociologist and , he was born on July 14, 1937 and he studied History in the "Universidad de Chile" and Sociology in the Facultad Latinoamericana de Ciencias Sociales.
Fernando Henrique Cardoso and Enzo Faletto published Dependency and Development in Latin America in 1969, the first academic statement of dependency theory. In it, Cardoso and Faletto argue that
“economic development has frequently depended on favorable conditions for exports.”
Dependency and Development in Latin America was one of the most important books of 20th century.
In 1973 he moved to ECLAC where he held important positions as a consultant to the international body, maintaining its link with FLACSO, returning in 1990 to teaching at the University of Chile, specifically the Department of Sociology, where he served until his last days.
Enzo Faletto died on 2003, leaving a fantastic legacy in Latin America and sociology.
