Learning to Industrialize - From Given Growth to Policy-Aided Value Creation

Zusatztext 'Professor Ohno has written a pragmatic! clear-eyed argument in favor of 21st century industrial policy and provides examples and ways that developing countries can both comply with WTO rules and hasten the development of industrial sectors in which they can develop profitably. This is a valuable addition to the literature on industrial policy! as it moves beyond the old "state vs. market" arguments and focuses attention on the steps and capacities that need to be developed. Practitioners as well academics interested in industrial policy will find this book worth reading.' - David O. Dapice! Associate Professor of Economics! Tufts University! U.S.A.
