Selwyn provides a strong critique of List and subsequent "statist" economists (Chang, Grabel, Wade) as at best practitioners of "soft paternalism." On the positive side, this serves to highlight the negatives of "state capitalistm," whether Stalinist or South Korean. On the negative side, Selwyn paints "statist" economists with too broad a brush, missing nuances.

What underpinned the stagnation of real wages in the West? Was it financialization and credit; suppression of periphery wages; or a combination of both? If the latter, how does the mix operate? I have my ideas, but look forward to Selwyn's elaboration as the book progresses. The answers are very important for locating drivers of exploitation.
