While only one review, in Prospect Magazine, was outright dismissive[1], many – including those from the developing countries – were very positive[2][3], and even those in publications generally opposed to Reinert’s framework, such as by Martin Wolf in the Financial Times[4], have been respectfully critical yet called the book an important contribution to the debate.
