Reading that second quote in #AmitavGhosh's The #GreatDerangement reminded me of Noam Chomsk's quote of Daniel Defoe. Both examples of #BritishIndustry relying on #Protectionism to get started are from works by #PrasannanParthasarathi. It's nice to see that the upcoming Harvard PhD dissertation, Who Was Rich and Who Was Poor in the Eighteenth Centruy, that #Chomsky quoted in 1996 became a book, _Why Europe Grew Rich and Asia Did Not, of 2011 for #AmitavGhosh to use in 2016. #Parthasarathi
