The East Asian Development Experience : The Miracle, the Crisis and the Future, Paperback / softback Book

The East Asian Development Experience : The Miracle, the Crisis and the Future Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

Today East Asia is the richest part of the world outside the old industrial centres of Western Europe and North America.

Despite political authoritarianism, human rights violations, corruption, repression of labour unions, gender discrimination and mistreatment of ethnic minorities, the citizens of the East Asian economies have experienced improvements in income and general well-being unparalleled in human history. In this book, Ha-Joon Chang provides a fresh analysis of this spectacular growth.

He considers East Asian economies’ unorthodox methods, and their rejection of ‘best practice’ and so-called Washington Consensus policies. East Asia, he claims, can teach us much about the whole process of economic development.

Full of new facts and policy suggestions, this is a lively and unconventional introduction to a global phenomenon.
