Reviews

'An incisive and informative analysis of why free trade derails development, this book serves as an indispensable road map for those seeking to hack their way out of the neoliberal thicket.' Walden Bello, Focus on the Global South; author of Deglobalization: Ideas for a New World Economy 'This thought-provoking book is a valuable contribution to one of the greatest debates of our time, namely, trade and development. Some of its theses may be highly debatable, but all of them demand close attention.' Ha-Joon Chang, University of Cambridge
