The Role of Government in East Asian Economic Development: Comparative Institutional Analysis

Rating:
Summary: Good Approach to explore the true reason of development
Review: Usually, scholars like to treat the strong role of governmentas the major reason of the high-speed development of East AsianCountries and regions. The failure of them is that they never pay attention to the institutional foundations of the speedy development in East Asia. This book provides an alternative way to discuss the true reason of speed development in East Asia and offers some impressive arguments. To me, the most interesting points of this book are that East Asia has special social capital and institutional foundations for proper development and the strong role of government might not be the major reason. I suggest that the students of public sector economics, public administration and political science at least in China and other east Asia countries might have look at it and I believe this book is really one with much creative ideas. It is also helpful for government officials who prefer proper institutional foundation construction for sustainable development in developing world.
