Description
Kicking Away the Ladder: A Development Strategy in Historical Perspective by Ha-Joon Chang
This provocative study examines the pressure on developing countries from the developed world to adopt certain 'good policies' and 'good institutions'. Chang argues that the economic evolution of now-developed countries differed dramatically from the procedures that they now recommend to poorer nations.
Chang's conclusions are compelling and disturbing, revealing that developed countries are attempting to 'kick away the ladder' by which they have climbed to the top, thereby preventing developing countries from adopting policies and institutions that they themselves used.
