Kicking Away the Ladder

Discover the thought-provoking insights of Sulaiman Hakemy in "Kicking Away the Ladder," published by Macat International Limited in 2017. This compelling paperback, spanning 96 pages, challenges the conventional wisdom surrounding economic prosperity. Hakemy argues that the wealth experienced by First World nations is not merely a byproduct of unrestricted economic freedoms, as often claimed since the nineteenth century. Instead, he posits that their success is deeply rooted in state interventions that traditional economic theories typically dismiss. This book is essential for anyone interested in understanding the complex relationship between capitalism and government policy. Dive into Hakemy's analysis and rethink what you know about economic development and liberalism.
