Abstract: Abstract When I was first invited to take part in this Conference on Trade and Development, it was suggested that in my remarks I might ‘consider whether the developing countries can go ahead successfully without having to appeal to and to depend upon the trade liberalisation of industrial countries’. Having been exhorted so often in recent years to consider whether the developing countries cannot dispense with aid and rely instead on trade, it was certainly a sobering reminder that liberal access to the markets of the richer countries may also not be a reliable route to rapid progress.
