All of a sudden, however, I like Walden Bello less than I used to:

East Asian countries did not "move up the ladder" because the multi-fiber agreement restricted their exports. There is a profound difference between saying that developing-country growth can be aided by infant-industry protection (which is a risky strategy that often goes wrong) and implying that first-world limits on imports are really good for India.
Seems to me that Mr. Bello is not in the business of deepening the knowledge pool...
