In which country economic reform was first introduced?
Answer:
1776, America
I would have to say Egypt. Just because it is the first country we have written records about. There are recorded folk tales from before that that talk about some hero taking charge of a country and reforming their way of doing business. The old testament prohibition against interest. But as far as real records it would have to be Egypt.
I don't have a particular source to quote but it seems to me that in the broadest sense of the term "economic reform", this has been something politicians have been either promising or attempting dating all the way back to the days of the Roman Empire or even the Grecian city-states before that (being completely Euro-centric) or other Bronze Age (or earlier) cultures before that.
The problem is that you might need to narrow your definition of the phrase "economic reform" as it can be taken to mean anything from the evolution of barter economics to the development of currency or up to modern tax system reforms.
To answer your question with another question (and I'm not trying to be flippant here), what do you mean by economic reform?
