About This Book
----------------
'There is no alternative' - to neoliberal economics, the Americanization
of the world's economies, and globalization. This remains the driving
assumption within the international development policy establishment. In
this book, two economists, Ha-Joon Chang and llene Grabel, cogently
explain this dominant school's main assertions about how economies
develop and the policies that all countries Ought to pursue. The authors
then combine data and a devastating economic logic with an analysis of
the historical experiences of leading Western and East Asian economies
during their development, in order to question the validity of the neeliberal development model.
Turning to policy, the authors set out concrete, practical alternatives
to neoliberalism across the key economic areas: trade and industrial
policy; privatization; intellectual property rights; external borrowing,
portfolio and foreign direct investment; domestic financial regulation;
and management of exchange rates, central banking and monetary policy,
and government revenue and expenditure. In doing so, they advocate
the most useful proposals that have emerged around the world along
with some innovative measures of their own.
This empowering and accessible book seeks to be of practical usefulness to students of development and to those, in government and beyond,
looking for concrete policy ideas. The hope is that it will stimulate
discussion of the ways in which development policies can be reclaimed
by those seeking to promote rapid economic growth that is equitable,
stable and sustainable.
