| Review | "Fifty years ago, per capita incomes in South East and North East Asia did not differ nearly as much as today. Prof. Yoshihara asks a simple question - why has the difference increased so dramatically, especially since the 1960s?" "Believing that the explanation lies in large part in inherited factors (institutions and culture), Prof. Yoshihara has written an important study that carries economic development into many other disciplines and which may have important implications for the debate on Asian values and other controversial issues." "Topics covered include internal and international income distribution, economic parameters, planned vs. market economy, economic freedom in the market economy, law and order, and culture as a determinant of individual choice." "With analysis on Cambodia, China, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Hong Kong, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam."--Jacket |
