In this book, renowned Norwegian economist Erik Reinert shows that rich countries became rich through a combination of government intervention, protectionism, and strategic investment, rather than through free trade. These policies, the author argues, have been the key to successful economic development from Renaissance Italy to today's Southeast Asian countries. Showing that modern economists ignore this approach while also insisting on the importance of free trade, Reinert attributes this to a long-standing split in economic scholarship between the Continental European tradition, focused on comprehensive public policy, on the one hand, and the Anglo-American tradition, focused on free trade, on the other. Written in accessible language, the book is of interest not only to specialists in economic history and theory, but also to a wide range of readers.
