Bad Samaritans
Book • 1998
In 'Bad Samaritans', Ha-Joon Chang challenges the conventional wisdom of free trade, arguing that it is not a universally beneficial policy.
He contends that developed countries have historically used protectionism to advance their economies and now impose free trade on developing nations, hindering their growth.
The book offers a historical perspective on how countries like the U.S.
and Britain became rich through protectionist policies, and how these same policies are now denied to poorer nations.
