Anti-Neoliberalism as if the Poor Mattered

The decline of the Washington Consensus and the unexpected resurgence of industrial policy have taken place without considering the perspective of low- and middle-income countries. To ensure a just climate transition, we must remember that the world’s poorest economies benefited enormously from globalization.

As in neoliberalism’s heyday, a subtle form of intellectual imperialism is skewing the global economic debate toward the interests of major powers.
