Opis

This book argues that growth based on natural resources or geographical advantages will sooner or later hit the wall. To go from middle to high income, a country must install a national mindset and institutions that encourage human capital accumulation. The free market model can take a country only to lower middle income.

Recenzje

'Professor Ohno has written a pragmatic, clear-eyed argument in favor of 21st century industrial policy and provides examples and ways that developing countries can both comply with WTO rules and hasten the development of industrial sectors in which they can develop profitably. This is a valuable addition to the literature on industrial policy, as it moves beyond the old "state vs. market" arguments and focuses attention on the steps and capacities that need to be developed. Practitioners as well academics interested in industrial policy will find this book worth reading.' — David O. Dapice, Associate Professor of Economics, Tufts University, U.S.A.
