Between 1950 and 1970, Nicaragua grew 5–7% a year. By 1979, the regime that ran that growth was gone. How one of Latin America's fastest growth runs quietly built the fractures that brought it down — and what today's LAC policymakers should learn. techrevlac.org/blog/nicaragua…

Mariana Mazzucato@MazzucatoM·
The @WorldBankGroup's chief economist, @IndermitGill, recently acknowledged that three decades of its advice against industrial policy "has the practical value of a floppy disk today." This shift in thinking is significant. The global economy cannot run on better-targeted versions of the same approach, it needs a new operating system entirely. My new piece for @ForeignPolicy on what a progressive multilateralism requires. LINK IN NEXT POST

In a new major report, the World Bank conceded that its decades-long war on industrial policy was wrong, saying its old advice “has not aged well — it has the practical value of a floppy disk today.” But this is not an intellectual awakening. The World Bank's doctrine shifted because the means through which Western nations can maintain their dominance shifted — not because economists suddenly discovered new evidence. The world’s wealthiest nations are now pursuing industrial policy so openly that it can no longer be denied to the rest of the world. When the geopolitical winds shift, so does the ideology of institutions where wealthy nations' interests are deeply entrenched.

The boom left Ecuador with a state-led growth model tied to oil rents. The infrastructure and expanded public administration created capacity, but raised the economy’s break-even fiscal needs and expectations around subsidies and public employment. watkinsadvisory.org/blog/f/ecuador…
