Kicking away the ladder
Book • 2002
In 'Kicking Away the Ladder', Ha-Joon Chang challenges conventional wisdom by highlighting that developed countries used protectionist and interventionist policies during their development, which they now deny to developing nations.
The book argues that these policies were crucial for economic growth and that developed countries are 'kicking away the ladder' by advising developing countries to adopt different policies.
Chang's work provides a historical perspective on development strategies and critiques modern economic orthodoxy.
