Erik S Reinert argues through essays ranging from 1994 to 2020 that neo-classical economics damages developing countries: the theory of comparative advantage leaves out a number of factors which make economic activities qualitatively different as carriers of economic growth. Based on a long intellectual tradition – started by the Italian economists Giovanni Botero (1589) and Antonio Serra (1613) and later used in virtually all presently industrialised countries – Reinert shows that the country which exports increasing returns goods – e.g. high-end manufacture and advanced services – has advantages over the country which exports diminishing returns goods – i.e. commodities. This has very important implications for today’s development strategies that, Reinert argues, should be seen as variations of industrial strategies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e16.The Economics of Reindeer Herding: Saami Entrepreneurship between Cyclical Sustainability and the Powers of State and Oligopolies; 17 European Integration, Innovations and Uneven Economic Growth: Challenges and Problems of EU 2005; 18 Institutionalism Ancient, Old and New: A Historical Perspective on Institutions and Uneven Development; 19 European Eastern Enlargement as Europe’s Attempted Economic Suicide?
