It is nice to have good lectures from time to time and contrast to many interesting seminars here at IIASA, the one we had today was also entertaining. If you happen to see book called Bad Samaritan The Myth of Free Trade and Secret History of Capitalism I would recommend borrowing, buying, or if you are from a poor country pirat copying the book. The book is nicely titled and will surely attract plenty of conspiracy theorists, although the author Ha Joon Chang, refuses to take the arguement quite that far. Instead, it is nicely shown that at certain extensive periods, most of the "developed" nations have sheltered their industries from free trade and more often than not this had led to economic prosperity.
After such topics going back to my own work with crop categories, soil classes and field slopes is so boring...
