“The book provides contemporary case studies of successful episodes of industrial policy, such as Sweden’s Saab, Europe’s Airbus and South Korea’s automobile and nuclear reactor industries. Overall, this book is an excellent volume on industrial development and sustainable policies to drive this. One can only expect that the book will have a wide readership, and the information contained within it will be able to change perspectives of the industrial process.” (Uchenna R. Efobi, LSE Review of Books, blogs.lse.ac.uk, March 21, 2019)
