Summary: | Studies of five East Asian countries, plus an introductory overview and a conclusion, provide a comparative picture of economic transformation in the region. Studies on South Korea and Singapore emphasize the longer-term aspects of economic growth, while the Indonesia and Thailand studies discuss short-term aspects. The India study describes the origins of the macroeconomic crisis of 1991 and problems facing the country at the beginning of the reform process. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
