Can it be an advantage to be backward? Alexander Gerschenkron
developed a model of economic development in which relatively
less-developed countries were at an advantage. State interventions
could systematically compensate for inadequate supplies of capital,
skilled labour, entrepreneurship and technology found in the more
advanced. This text examines the relevance of this hypothesis to
two of the most spectacularly successful economies of East Asia,
Japan and South Korea. Combining insights from economic history,
development economics and the economics of technology, the book
emphasizes the need for historical models to understand historical
processes.
