In this book, renowned Norwegian economist Eric Reinert shows that rich countries have become rich through a combination of government intervention, protectionism, and strategic investment, not through free trade. According to the author, it was precisely such a policy that was the key to successful economic development, starting from Renaissance Italy and ending with today's countries of Southeast Asia. Showing that modern economists ignore this approach, insisting on the importance of free trade, Reinert explains this by a long-standing split in economics between the continental European tradition, oriented towards comprehensive public policy, on the one hand, and the Anglo-American, oriented towards free trade, - with another. Written in an accessible language, the book is of interest not only to specialists in economic history and theory, but also to a wide range of readers.
