An "Economist" Best Book of the Year
In the 1980s and 1990s many in the West came to believe in the myth
of an East-Asian economic miracle, with countries seen as not just
development prodigies but as a unified bloc, culturally and
economically similar, and inexorably on the rise. In "How Asia
Works," Joe Studwell distills extensive research into the economics
of nine countries--Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Indonesia, Malaysia,
Thailand, the Philippines, Vietnam, and China--into an accessible,
readable narrative that debunks Western misconceptions, shows what
really happened in Asia and why, and for once makes clear why some
countries have boomed while others have languished. Impressive in
scope, "How Asia Works" is essential reading for anyone interested
in a region that will shape the future of the world.
"Pithy, well-written and intellectually vigorous . . . Studwell's
thesis is bold, his arguments persuasive, and his style pugnacious.
It adds up to a highly readable and important book." --"Financial
Times"
