I suggest that the reader sufficiently interested in our debate on Catalonia consult the two original essays; in this reply to a reply, I will cover only so much of the old ground as is necessary for a rejoinder. ‘From Autonomous Development to Dependent Modernization …’ badly misrepresents some of my observations, essentially denies some of the statements made by Hansen and the Schneiders in their initial essay, injects new elements into the discussion, and is replete with ad hominem arguments. I will do my best to set the record straight.
