Book Description
The economies of South Korea and Taiwan in the second half of the 20th century are to scholars of economic development what the economy of Britain in the late 18th and early 19th century is to economic historians. This book, a collaboration between a leading trade economist and a leading economic sociologist specializing in East Asia, offers a fresh, original explanation of the development paths of post-World War II South Korea and Taiwan. The ambitions of the authors go beyond this, however. They use these cases to reshape the way economists, sociologists, and political scientists will think about economic organization in the future.
