Book Description
How did the rich countries really become rich? In this provocative new study, Ha-Joon Chang examines the great pressure on developing countries from the developed world to adopt certain "good policies" and "good institutions", seen today as necessary for economic development. Adopting an historical approach, Chang finds that the economic evolution of now-developed countries differed dramatically from the procedures that they now recommend to poorer nations. His conclusions are compelling and disturbing: that developed countries are attempting to "kick away the ladder" by which they have climbed to the top, thereby preventing developing counties from adopting policies and institutions that they themselves used.

kicking away the ladderとは、自分だけはしごを使って高い所に登っておいて、後の人が登ろうとするとはしごをけって使えなくする行為を意味します。この本は、現在の先進国がとってきた貿易・産業政策を克明に報告することで、WTOなどで途上国に自由貿易をおしつける先進国を厳しく批判したものです。先進国に生まれた一人として、知っておくべき事実だと思います。

An iconoclastic and sophiscated work
2004/3/6
形式:ペーパーバック
According to Michael Lind's book review in Prospect (Jan 2002), this book is "the most important book about the world economy to be published in years." And the author received the 2003 Myrdal Award for this book, which is awarded annually to a great academic achievement in the field of development/institutional economics following the late Swedish economist's name Gunar Myrdal who was a Nobel Prize laureate.
Prof. Ha-Joon Chang of Cambridge argues in this book that developed countries used some measures for promoting their economy in their earlier days of development, which they are now blaming for making the economies of developing country worse and the world economic order unfree.
The author reverses this logic. According to his arguments, policy-suggestions from such arguments of developed countries are in fact making the economy in developing countries lag behind and its development impossible, and such a rule of game in the world economy now can be rather unfair to them because developing countries even are often punished due to their using of the very same methods which developed ones used in the past.
As a critique of neo-liberal market fundamentalism, this book is very iconoclastic because it gives readers a sophisticated understanding of the real history of industrial development as well as pleasure of reading an academically original and creative work. This book is above all analytical in terms of using the method of historical comparisons. Some comparisons may be too bold. But its creativity and integrity in organizing the research overcome the limits of bold comparison.

A telling attack on free trade
2010/8/19
形式:ペーパーバック
Written more for an academic/professional/specialist audience than the general reader, Chang's short book is still accessible and full of information that is vital to our understanding of how the ideology of free trade has been created in order to reward developed nations at the expense of those trying to develop. The United States, Great Britain, Germany--essentially every country that has successfully industrialized--used tariffs, protections of infant industries, control of capital markets and other policies that poor countries are told they must not try or abandon if they are implementing them. The hammer has been the threat of losing funding from IMF or World Bank although the conditionalities of Structural Adjustment may be as harmful as the economic imbalances they are meant to address.
The ladder image is simple and brilliant. It was coined by Frederich List, a nineteenth century Germany economist, to describe how the already successful United Kingdom tried to impose free trade policies on nations that hadn't yet become industrial powers and is no less true today than it was in 1834.
Chang historical approach is devastating to free trade apologists and propagandists who serve the dominant development ideology which keeps poor countries poor. His more popular book "Bad Samaritans" is based some of the research evident here.

Now I have more doubts than before - and that's excellent
2006/9/1
形式:ペーパーバック
This is a book I intend to reread a year from now. I believe it has changed my perspective regarding international politics and developmental issues, so from now on I'll try and interpret facts through the perspective Chang provided. Meanwhile, I'll try and follow some of the bibliography he suggests to see if I can mitigate some of my doubts.
If you believe you're a neoliberal, this book is for you. It will challenge some of your most basic beliefs - and what could be better? You might be able to disagree with him entirely, but I'm sure that reading this book will sophisticate your thoughts in the matter and throw some doubts where there was none. Too bad this is not the best-seller it could have been.
