In the 1980s and 1990s, many in the West came to believe in the myth of an East-Asian economic miracle, with countries seen as not just development prodigies but as a unified bloc, culturally and economically similar, and inexorably on the rise. In How Asia Works, Joe Studwell distills extensive 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 Western misconceptions, shows what really happened in Asia and why, and for once makes clear why some countries have boomed while others have languished.
Impressive in scope, How Asia Works is essential listening for anyone interested in a region that will shape the future of the world.

Great insight of the Asian economy and development

There was nothing in the book that was drastically complicated and the framework for the three main idea's (agricultural reform, export oriented manufacturing and national economic control) culminate in how economic development, the transformation from developing to developed economies played out for most Asian countries.
Ranking the nation's by historical success shows one by one how leadership and competencies in applying principles occurred for the different nation's. The failures of leadership become very apparent and the difficulty in seeing the bigger picture for the few nation's that had little direction illustrate how the inequities have formed Asia as we see it today.
The authors prescription hints that there is little that can be done to reverse the courses that south Asian nations are currently in without severe radical reform, which is not likely as nation's seem to desire to grow within perceptions of the current global economy without changing the inhibiting factors.
