Download How Asia Works: Success and Failure in the World's Most Dynamic Region AudioBook Free
Within the 1980s and 1990s, many in the West came to believe in the misconception of any East-Asian economic wonder, with countries seen as not simply development prodigies but as a unified bloc, culturally and economically similar, and inexorably increasing. In How Asia Works, Joe Studwell distills comprehensive research into the economics of nine countries - Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, the Philippines, Vietnam, and China - into an accessible narrative that debunks European myths, shows what really took place in Asia and why, and then for once makes clear why some countries have boomed while some have languished. Impressive in opportunity, How Asia Works is essential listening for anybody interested in a region that will shape the continuing future of the world.
