i definitely read this for school but it was interesting i'm excited to read history and international relations books for the rest of my life even after graduating

This is an interesting and informative book about Taiwan's economic development after World War II. Not a book heavily larded with economist acronyms and heavy with academic prose, it's short enough to leave you hope of finishing it in a reasonable period but long enough to cover the intended topic and do it well. As that the book was published in 1986, it can hardly be faulted for lack of coverage of Taiwan's democratization in the meantime.
