Reclaiming Development: An Economic Policy Handbook for Activists and Policymakers

The authors of this book challenge prevailing ideas about free markets and globalization. They question whether globalization is a technological reality that cannot be stopped and ask if the US economy really outperformed its competitors in the 1990s. They show how in each key area — trade and industrial policy, privatization, intellectual property rights, investment and financial policies, exchange rate and currency policy, labour and social welfare — there are alternatives to neoliberal policies that the historical experience of particular countries prove really works.
