Looking for economic growth in the wrong place?

Over the years, there have been plenty of initiatives for Latvia’s future growth. One current example is the National Development Plan of Latvia for 2021 – 2027, another this one from the Economics Ministry.

Fine, but increasingly it is my feeling that the focus is somewhat wrong: Instead of focusing entirely on priorities for Latvia, it might be fruitful to look at a) what has perhaps not been done or b) what may have been done wrong.

This view of mine comes from looking at the Lithuanian economy.
