How Asia Works pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載 2025
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.
Joe Studwell is the founding editor of the China Economic Quarterly. A freelance journalist in Asia for over twenty years, he has also written for the Economist Intelligence Unit, The Economist, The Financial Times, The Asian Wall Street Journal and the The Far Eastern Economic Review. He is the author of The China Dream and Asian Godfathers.
算是對新古典經濟學和華盛頓共識的一個批判,也認識到所有製不是最重要的。不過有些觀點還是那種西方的刻闆印象。
評分A 5-star book about the success of east Asian economic development
評分在新西蘭旅行中山一路水一路斷斷續續讀完瞭。非常非常棒的分析+紀實文本,對瞭解東亞東南亞經濟很有幫助!
評分總的來說是本好書,解析瞭近三十年來中國經濟成功(也是東亞各國經濟成功)的秘訣,隻是到最後變得有點專門吐槽國際貨幣基金組織和世界銀行瞭~
評分剛開始看。但我覺得很通熟易懂,而且不帶任何意識形態偏見。
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...
評分一本戴明式的伟大著作,这是我对这本书的评价。 戴明是美国的质量管理专家,20世纪五十年代,他在考察日本的时候提出了自己的管理思想,受到日本人的推崇并广泛加以应用,为战后日本企业的发展做出了巨大贡献。至今日本的质量管理最高奖仍是以他的名字命名的。然而,他在自己的...
評分在书里他大力推崇了美国的开放,自由和全球化,以及在国际事务中的大国责任,不知道他对美国现行的政策会如何评价?而中国在这本书出版后的十年经历了非常大的变化,医疗,养老,科技,也很好奇他对中国一带一路的评价,也好奇他是否会想到华为的5G技术会逼的美国不惜挑起贸易...
