3.0 out of 5 stars
this could have been a really good book...,
By A Customer
This review is from: Race to the Swift (Paperback)
This could have been a really good book, but this interesting and readable treatment of South Korea's economic history is marred by wild polemics. Ultimately, it is a descriptive, not analytical, work, and hence of questionable utility in understanding the present or future.
