Export Opinion: A development economist poses a counterhistory of free trade

Wed, 30 Jan 2008 18:59:22 +0000

n the 1980s, as developing countries across the world struggled with crushing debt burdens and slow-growing economies, they were pushed—by the United States and international financial institutions—to embrace a set of policies that promised to rescue them. These policies, which are often grouped under the label neoliberalism, proceeded from the assumption that developing countries interfered too much with the workings of their markets.
