具体描述
In the 1980s and 1990s many in the West came to believe in the myth of an East-Asian economic miracle. Japan was going to dominate, then China. Countries were called “tigers” or “mini-dragons,” and were seen as not just development prodigies, but as a unified bloc, culturally and economically similar, and inexorably on the rise.
Joe Studwell has spent two decades as a reporter in the region, and The Financial Times said he “should be named chief myth-buster for Asian business.” In How Asia Works, Studwell distills his extensive research into the economies of nine countries—Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, the Philippines, Vietnam, and China—into an accessible, readable 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.
Studwell’s in-depth analysis focuses on three main areas: land policy, manufacturing, and finance. Land reform has been essential to the success of Asian economies, giving a kick start to development by utilizing a large workforce and providing capital for growth. With manufacturing, industrial development alone is not sufficient, Studwell argues. Instead, countries need “export discipline,” a government that forces companies to compete on the global scale. And in finance, effective regulation is essential for fostering, and sustaining growth. To explore all of these subjects, Studwell journeys far and wide, drawing on fascinating examples from a Philippine sugar baron’s stifling of reform to the explosive growth at a Korean steel mill.
Thoroughly researched and impressive in scope, How Asia Works is essential reading for anyone interested in the development of these dynamic countries, a region that will shape the future of the world.

读后感
斯塔维尔不是学院经济学家，而是一名长期活跃于亚洲的经济记者，可能这正是这本书写得如此引人入胜的原因之一。另一个原因恐怕是读者的预期被小小地（或者大大的）颠覆：我们自学校教育以来就不断地被新自由主义经济主张狂轰滥炸，以至于市场、守夜人政府等概念甚至有了先验的...
评分故事讲的挺好的，理论构建的太差了。亨廷顿在《变化社会中的政治秩序》里构建的理论吊打这本书。 作者对政治的理解也太简单了吧。东南亚的经济落后仅仅是因为经济政策的错误吗？作者有没有考虑过一个问题：以东南亚国家的政府低下的执政能力，这些政府其实是没有能力选择他所说...
评分亚洲发展中国家在发展初期成功的三个原因：1）agricultural reforms; 2) export disciplined manufacturing; 3) effective finance system to support the two, which formed to align individuals’ objectives with nations’ main objective. 作者提出华为在2010年就遭到了...
评分结合日韩中东南亚案例，把落后国家需要三步走发展的理论介绍的非常生动简洁，而且频繁回顾总结让人印象深刻，和杨照风格类似好老师的典范。看完对新市场学派的霸道一声叹息，无论经济学发展如何精致，其实还是最符合直接的重商主义可能真正贴近实际。东南亚几个国家都被点名成...
评分不错！ 作者认为亚洲经济发展历程一般都在三个方面取得成功：土地制度的改革、以出口为导向的工业生产、还有就是金融服务业的发展。 经过长时间的发展历程，最后只有日本，韩国和台湾取得成功，成功迈入发达国家行业，（香港，新加坡属于离岸金融中心，不在此列）而发展初期，...

评分A 5-star book about the success of east Asian economic development
评分读完很是受益。对亚洲几个国家的经济发展模式及各自的问题做了很好的阐释。在作者总结出的几个经济发展框架下对这些国家一一做了分析。特别是对东南亚几个国家的失败，作者看来是做了大量的调研工作，感觉分析也很到位。对韩国日本也算详细。
评分本书得出的三大成功发展的诀窍虽简单明了，但对东北亚阵营（中、日、韩、台）及东南亚阵营（马、菲、泰、印尼）八个国家在发展型国家道路上各自的利弊得失做了生动翔实的描述和较为深入的比较分析，对这八个国家或其他后发国家的民众来讲还是值得看一下的。P.S. 繁体中文版将于明年一月出版，敬请期待！
