Samir Amin is an Egyptian political author, born in 1931. He currently lives in Dakar, Senegal. Amin was trained in Paris, and is one of the best-known Neo-Marxian thinkers, both in development theory as well as in the relativistic-cultural critique of social sciences. He is the director of the Forum du Tiers Monde (Third World Forum), based in Dakar. He is a promoter of the conscious self-reliance of developing countries, particular for the Arab world.

His numerous books include Eurocentrism (1988), L'empire du chaos (Empire of Chaos, 1991) and Au-del? du capitalisme (Spectres of Capitalism, 1998).
