‘I think what the author is arguing is right on the money. He has written a fine book.’
– Richard R. Nelson, Columbia University, US
‘This book is timely and comprehensive, reviewing and synthesising the burgeoning literature on the role of technology in economic growth very cogently and with insight. The author blends theory with reality very effectively, and provides the reader with a clear guide through the new jargon and concepts. The coverage is broad, and I am impressed with the way different strands of theory have been integrated, and then placed in the context of the Asian financial crisis.’
– The late Sanjaya Lall, Oxford University (at the International Development Centre at Queen Elizabeth House), UK
This important book develops an evolutionary conception of growth in East Asia, in which technology, organizations and institutions interact and co-evolve to advance productivity. Episodic crises are seen as disruptions which bring to the fore structural and institutional flaws that need reform.
