<<as eloquently expounded by economist Ravi Kanbur.He says the opposing sides are often both right: liberalizing trade, for example, does in the long run increase growth and benefit all members of society, as the IMF and World Bank would tend to argue.>>

How long do they think it would take to show improvements?

What do they say about the Southeast Asian economies that did better with state subsidized economies than with "free market" economies?

Does anyone know how they answer these kinds of questions?

Also, who would be the debaters for "our" team?
