1 For example, Rodrik raises the following questions (173): ‘Does the economy work better under laissez-faire or planning? Are economic growth and development more rapid under free trade or under protection? Does macroeconomic stability require Keynesian countercyclical policies or Hayekian nonintervention?’

2 The author cites, inter alia, the decision of the Japanese ruling class to promote industrialization and economic development in the post-Meiji restoration period (185) and the Chinese invention of special economic zones to participate in the global economy without full liberalization and whilst protecting state-owned enterprises (187).
