How Rich Countries Got Rich and Why Poor Countries Stay Poor
How Rich Countries Got Rich is a narrative history of modern economic development from the Italian Renaissance to the present day. In it Erik S. Reinert shows how rich countries developed through a combination of government intervention, protectionism, and strategic investment.Reinert suggests that this set of policies in various combinations has driven successful development from Renaissance Italy to the modern Far East.Yet despite its demonstrable success, orthodox development economists have largely ignored this approach and insisted instead on the importance of free trade. Reinert presents a strongly revisionist history of economics and shows how the discipline has long been torn between the continental Renaissance tradition on one hand and the free market theories of English and later American economics on the other.He argues that our economies were founded on protectionism and state activism and could only later afford the luxury of free trade.When our leaders come to lecture poor countries on the right road to riches they do so in almost perfect ignorance of the real history of mass affluence.

Competition Law in Developing Countries
This book brings together perspectives of development economics and law to tackle the relationship between competition law enforcement and economic development.It addresses the question of whether, and how, competition law enforcement helps to promote economic growth and development.This question is highly pertinent for developing countries largely because many developing countries have only adopted competition law in recent years: about thirty jurisdictions had in place a competition law in the early 1980s, and there are now more than 130 competition law regimes across the world, of which many are developing countries.The book proposes a customized approach to competition law enforcement for developing countries, set against the background of the academic and policy debate concerning convergence of competition law.The implicit premise of convergence is that there may exist one, or a few, correct approaches to competition law enforcement, which in most cases emanate from developed jurisdictions, that are applicable to all.This book rejects this assumption and argues that developing countries ought to tailor competition law enforcement to their own economic and political circumstances.In particular, it suggests how competition law enforcement can better incorporate development concerns without causing undue dilution of its traditional focus on protecting consumer welfare.It proposes ways in which approaches to competition law enforcement need to be adjusted to reflect the special economic characteristics of developing country economies and the more limited enforcement capacity of developing country competition authorities.Finally, it also addresses the long-running debate concerning the desirability and viability of industrial policy for developing countries. The author would like to acknowledge the Research Grants Council of Hong Kong for its generous support.The work in this book was fully supported by a grant from the Research Grants Council of Hong Kong (Project No.HKU 742412H).

Why are some desert countries not considered tropical?
Some desert countries are not considered tropical because they do not fall within the tropical latitudes, which are typically between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn. These countries may be located in higher latitudes, where the climate is not characterized by the same tropical conditions such as high temperatures and consistent rainfall. Additionally, the presence of desert conditions, such as low precipitation and high temperatures, may not align with the typical characteristics of tropical climates. Therefore, these desert countries are classified based on their specific climate and geographical location, rather than being categorized as tropical.

Sustainable Urbanism in Developing Countries
The mushrooming of illegal housing on the periphery of cities is one of the main consequences of rapid urbanisation associated with social and environmental problems in the developing countries.Sustainable Urbanism in Developing Countries discusses the linkage between urbanism and sustainability and how sustainable urbanism can be implemented to overcome the problems of housing and living conditions in urban areas.Through case studies from India, Indonesia, China, etc., using advanced GIS techniques, this book analyses several planning and design criteria to solve the physical, social, and economic problems of urbanisation and refers to urban planning as an effective measure to protect and promote the cultural characteristics of specific locations in these developing countries.

SOE in the Low Countries
SOE’s Belgian and Dutch operations in the Second World War have always been considered highly controversial because of the notorious Englandspiel (‘the English game’) run by the Germans, which effectively took control of the entire resistance organisation in Holland.Skilfully manipulated by Colonel Hermann Giskes, the occupying force arrested dozens of Dutch agents and operated their wireless sets with sufficient finesse to persuade SOE’s headquarters in London that their networks were operating without interference.In reality, each consignment of agents and equipment fell directly into the hands of the Nazis. Was there a traitor in London? Was it incompetence in the field or hopelessly inadequate security procedures?The Belgian experience, equally complicated, was for a time almost as disastrous as the Dutch.Opinions have differed, but here the official records are opened for independent scrutiny by an acknowledged specialist in SOE’s operations.The story that emerges is a harrowing catalogue of Whitehall jealousies and infighting, blunders and ineptitude, combined with breathtaking bravery on the part of the agents who were captured.

What are industrialized countries and developing countries?
Industrialized countries are those that have advanced infrastructure, technology, and high levels of income and standard of living. These countries have highly developed economies and industries, and typically have a high level of urbanization and access to modern amenities. Developing countries, on the other hand, are those that are still in the process of industrialization and have lower levels of income and standard of living. These countries often have less advanced infrastructure and technology, and may have a higher proportion of their population engaged in agriculture. Developing countries are working towards improving their economic and social conditions to reach the level of industrialized countries.
