Abstract
:
Orthodox trade and growth theory, and the world's multilateral development institutions, extol the virtues of trade liberalisation and free trade for more rapid economic development of poor countries. This book argues that the theory is based on unreal assumptions, providing many examples to illustrate such a claim.
