Samir Amin
**Samir Amin** (1931–2018) était un économiste franco-égyptien, figure majeure de la théorie de la dépendance et du marxisme critique. Il a enseigné dans plusieurs universités (Paris, Dakar, Poitiers) et dirigé le Forum du Tiers-Monde. Ses travaux, notamment sur l’**échange inégal** et la **loi de la valeur**, ont profondément influencé la pensée économique sur les rapports Nord-Sud et les mécanismes de domination capitaliste. Amin est aussi connu pour son engagement altermondialiste et ses critiques du néolibéralisme.
