Several political economists (e.g. Ricardo, Smith) tried to explain the economic growth phenomenon without reaching a univocal conclusion. In recent years, a new discipline called Economic Complexity is emerging over classical economic theories, trying to give an answer to the fateful question “what is the secret of the wealth of nations?”. According to Economic Complexity theories, it is possible to estimate the industrial competitiveness of a country just looking at its export basket, namely the products the country is able to export. In this approach, the trade data regarding exports is interpreted as a bipartite network in which countries are connected to the product they export.
