Book Review 3: Industrial Policy and Development: The Political Economy of Capabilities Accumulation

this book makes a major contribution not only to this field but also to our understanding of economics. Its most important achievement lies not in the rich tapestry of experiences of nations, or even in the breadth and depth of expertise of its 27 contributors, but by reconnecting economics with the complementary disciplines of history, politics, and political economy, and setting it within the context of culture, institutions and organizational behaviour.
