Interpreting East Asian Growth and Innovation: The future of Miracles

by Haider A. Khan

Haider A. Khan goes beyond the study of catch-up technology and raises the question of innovation processes that are the key to the future growth and prosperity of the East Asian economies. This is particularly important in the aftermath of the Asian financial crises that have cost these economies much. How can newly industrialized economies achieve cohesive systems of innovation for sustainable growth? The author offers a novel theory of innovation systems with concrete case studies to illustrate its usefulness.

A fascinating book. Well-researched. What's so interesting about this is the economic turmoil the countries received after their initial climb, which means that similar measures might not necessarily work out for the best in this country.
