And it's not a new thesis, it has been noticed by various intellectuals at least for last 200 years.
Another relatively recent book on this topic: https://www.amazon.com/Kicking-Away-Ladder-Development-Persp...

>The benefits of open and free markets are obvious.
All "developed" countries were heavily protectionist in their formative years. Only now that they have some economic power in the world, they're trying to impose asymmetrical "free trade" agreements on nations which are not developed and force them to abandon protectionism. These are just the facts.
>I think you're overplaying the perceived benefit of protectionism.
Sorry to burst your bubble.
