Abstract

Because economic theory provides such disparate views on normative action in international political economy, Raudino proposes to use the history of economic praxis as a design and implementing guide for public economic policies in low-income countries. By looking at the work of economic historians such as Friedrich List, Joseph Schumpeter, Robert Heilbroner, Ha-Joon Chang and Erik Reinert, Raudino identifies a fil rouge linking successful public economic practices throughout the centuries and across different continents. These can be traced from the dawn of economic development in the modern world—Italian city-states and the Low Lands in the thirteenth century—to the latest countries to successfully graduate in the second half of the twentieth century—including the Asian Newly industrialized Economies (NIEs). These policies can be seen as contributing towards a “virtuous cycle” of economic growth that has given solid proof of empirical validity.
