Re: Ask ET: Protectionism and Fledgling Economies (none / 0)

Somewhat loaded as a question since protectionism was more prevalent in the past than now. Perhaps it should be 'more protectionist than typical for its era?'

Right. Now you can shout "Estonia!" or something, if only Estonia's population were larger than Hong-Kong's. If you ask something bigger than Hong Kong and Singapoure, you exclude a lot.

In what sense does that change the matter? (4.00 / 2)

If:

everyone has a deliberately interventionist phase in one period, and so anyone who developed a large industrial economy from that period had a protectionist phase, and
only some have a deliberately protectionist phase in another period, and it turns out that all nations that develop into large industrial economies in that period had a protectionist phase ...

... how does the greater prevalance of protectionism in the previous period undermine the argument?
