This topical book interprets firms, governments and economic change
from an entrepreneurial perspective. Essentially, it applies the
Austrian theory of human agency and evolutionary theories of the
firm to explain economic organisation, the state and institutional
change. Tony Yu begins by discussing the nature of entrepreneurship
and the firm followed by an analysis of the role of
entrepreneurship in economic change. He thoroughly analyses the
process of economic development in late industrialisers, within an
entrepreneurial framework outlined within the book. The author
argues that ordinary and extraordinary discovery are associated
with routine or imitative entrepreneurship and Schumpetarian
entrepreneurship respectively. Using this classification, the
author shows how it is the interaction of various types of
entrepreneurial activities that transformed East Asian latecomers
such as Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, Singapore and Hong Kong from
traditional agrarian and fishing economies into international
centres of trading, service industries and finance. Firms,
Governments and Economic Change will be of special interest to
scholars of industrial economics, entrepreneurship and Asian
studies. It will also be of use to governmental organisations
responsible for economic development, as the analysis is thoroughly
up to date easy to understand.

The book is divided into three parts, consisting of 13 chapters.
They examine entrepreneurship, innovative systems and government
policies in Taiwan. Part I explores the relationship between
entrepreneurship and the economic development of Taiwan. Part II
examines the innovation systems of Taiwan while Part III attempts
to understand the role of the government in Taiwan's economic
transformation. Taiwan's economic success is well documented in
mainstream neo-classical economic literatures. Since the end of the
Second World War, Taiwan has transformed in around 60 years time
from a farmland to a high tech industrial economy. This miraculous'
performance has intrigued scholars to search for an explanation of
Taiwan's success and more importantly, a development model for
latecomer economies. It is generally admitted by scholars
(including those from the neo-classical school) that Taiwan's
economic success is, to a large extent, attributed to its dynamic
entrepreneurs. However, economic studies on the role of
entrepreneurship in the economic development of Taiwan have been
few to date.
China’s Long and Winding Road to Modernization: Uncertainty,
Learning, and Policy Change interprets contemporary China’s
economic transformation from Austrian and evolutionary
perspectives. Fu-Lai Tony Yu and Diana S. Kwan incorporate culture,
institutions, government agents and entrepreneurship to understand
economic change in China. In this book, Yu and Kwan emphasize the
roles of uncertainty, learning and experimentation in policy
making. Topics discussed range from a presentation of theoretical
frameworks to understand China’s economic transformation, an
account of China’s economic management during 1950-1978, the
economic reformation after 1979 concurrent with Deng Xiaoping’s
Open Door Policy, and China’s rise as a global power. These
topics culminate in the final section of the book which suggests a
path for China’s modernization.
