Erik Reinert's conclusions and experiments in economics I have just read Erik Reinert's, "How Rich Countries Got Rich… and Why Poor Countries Stay Poor". Can anybody advise me some further reading on this topic? I wonder, in particular, 


if there were investigations on the influence of the international specialization of labour on the migration processes?
if there were experiments in this field?


Thank you.
It's been too long since I read those, so I don't exactly remember  whether they answer your two specific questions, but if you are interested in the topic you should definitely have a look at:

and the corresponding TED talk at
