Abstract:

Ha-Joon Chang effectively criticizes the mainstream approach to the institutions of development, on theoretical, empirical and historical grounds. He also creates an opening for a different kind of discussion about institutions and development, between heterodox institutional and Marxian economics. But he overlooks the opportunity to analyze the relationship between class and the institutions of development.
