Kicking away the ladder / Ha-Joon Chang

Public ISBD Titre : Kicking away the ladder : development strategy in historical perspective Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Ha-Joon Chang, Auteur Editeur : London : Anthem Press Année de publication : 2002 Importance : 187 p Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Développement économique Tags : Economie de développement  Stratégie de développement  Bonne gouvernance  Politique industrielle Index. décimale : 06.01 Développement - Généralités Résumé : How did the rich countries really become rich? In this provocative study, Ha-Joon Chang examines the great pressure on developing countries from the developed world to adopt certain 'good policies' and 'good institutions', seen today as necessary for economic development. Adopting a historical approach, Dr Chang finds that the economic evolution of now-developed countries differed dramatically from the procedures that they now recommend to poorer nations. His conclusions are compelling and disturbing: that developed countries are attempting to 'kick away the ladder' with which they have climbed to the top, thereby preventing developing counties from adopting policies and institutions that they themselves have used.
