Andre Gunder Frank was a path-breaking scholar in several disciplines over an illustrious and contentious 50-year career. First amongst his many important works is the book ReORIENT: Global Economy in the Asian Age, which sought to correct a Euro-centric world view of the development of the global political economy. Frank passed away in April 2005 while working on this new book, a sequel to ReORIENT. In this book Frank shows many of the myths of European industrialisation, hegemony and capitalism which have hidden the fact that Asia remained a serious power not just into the 18th century, as Frank himself argued in 1998, but well into the 19th century as well. When Frank passed away his colleagues rallied to finish this book and it is presented here as his final major statement.

Andre Gunder Frank received his PhD from the University of Chicago and held professorships at at least five universities including the University of Toronto, where he wrote his major work, ReORIENT. His opus includes some forty books and nearly one thousand articles and other pieces in numerous languages, spanning fifty years of global political and economic development. He is best known as the author of "dependency theory" and was one of the founders of the World Systems approach. He lived and traveled widely including significant sojourns in Latin America that brought him into the ken of Che Guevara, Allende, and ultimately Pinochet whose bloody coup drove Gunder Frank back to Europe. Throughout the rest of his life, he continued to break new boundaries of research and thought and was still working on this book until two weeks prior to his death in a hospital in Luxembourg on Saturday the 23rd of April, 2005.
