Reviews

"Over decades, Erik Reinert’s profound and significant work has highlighted the importance of increasing returns for development—and the ways in which poor countries have been prevented from reaping the benefits of such technologies. This book, bringing together some of his most essential insights, is a treasure trove for anyone interested in understanding processes of development and global inequality, and also an essential instruction manual for what can be done. —Jayati Ghosh, Professor of Economics, University of Massachusetts Amherst, USA Reading this book brings to mind the image of the author as eagle, one moment soaring high to see the panorama, another moment swooping low to pick up a tasty morsel. Reinert is one of the pioneers of a distinctly different narrative about economic development than has long occupied the commanding heights, with much more focus on politics and institutions and path-dependence. Anyone who enjoys the company of an articulate, off-beat, well informed intelligence will want to read his collection – and perhaps pick a fight with it.—Robert H. Wade, Professor of Global Political Economy, London School of Economics, London, American Political Science Association Best Book or Article Award, 1989 – 91, Leontief Prize in Economics, 2008 Development policy, like History, is written by those who won. But the recommendations of the successful countries paradoxically become ""do as I say, not as I did"". This book looks at the process of development from the perspective of the third-world countries to identify why their interests lie in alternative development strategies. —Jan Kregel, Director of Research, Levy Economics Institute of Bard College, NY US Sensitive to history, especially the development of ideas, and fluent in several key European languages, Erik Reinert is surely the most thoughtful, original and prolific muse of the Other Canon of economic development theory in our times. This tome of his wide-ranging work addresses contemporary development challenges by creatively interrogating received theory, especially informing investment and technology policy. —JOMO Kwame Sundaram, Visiting Senior Fellow at Khazanah Research Institute, Visiting Fellow at the Initiative for Policy Dialogue, Columbia University, and Adjunct Professor at the International Islamic University in Malaysia"
