There is a paper by CA Bayly who argues that Acemoglu, et al do not understand how the hybrid nature of some the institutions in the colonial period actually prepared the way for growth in the twentieth century. I am sure that Amiya Kumar Bagchi and others would contest Bayly's description of the hybrid and capability-enhancing capacities of some colonial institutions. Just reading Bayly's paper now. LR
