Well written andwell illustrated with graphs."--Raj Aggarwal, John Carroll University, "A most impressive work... And what makes it particularly impressive is the way it eschews any ideological baggage. It clinically and fairly analyses what actually happened."--The Weekend Australian, "A very informative volume on economic development in East Asia...Students found it helpful. It has many useful charts and figures, as well as some basic theoretical and policy arguments....I think the book offers a good text for courses in related areas. I recommend it to instructors whoteach classes about East Asia and development."--Xiaobo Lu, Columbia University, "A comprehensive work, distilling decades of research on the most dynamic region in the world economy."--Morning Star, "Excellent review of material on economic growth in Asia. Well written and well illustrated with graphs."--Raj Aggarwal, John Carroll University, "An excellent and comprehensive overview of one of the world's greatest economic success stories."--Stephen D. Cohen, School of International Service, American University, "An excellent and comprehensive overview of one of the world's greatesteconomic success stories."--Stephen D. Cohen, School of International Service,American University, "A thorough and comprehensive study of the economic performance of eight countries in East Asia...impressive graphs....Highly useful for both graduate and undergraduate students in economic development in general and Asian studies in particular."--Choice, the really interesting thing is that the report found that the Tiger economies, contrary to experience in other regions, have combined economic growth with "unusually low and declining levels of inequality"

Synopsis
The extraordinary growth enjoyed over the last several decades by many East Asian countries has amounted to nothing less than an economic miracle. Employing unorthodox policies, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, the Republic of Korea, Singapore, Taiwan, and Thailand have all produced dramatic results with far-reaching improvements in human welfare and income distribution, leading many to ask whether a similar achievement can be duplicated elsewhere. Written for the nonspecialist, this World Bank Policy Research Report--the first in an important new series--discusses in detail the means by which these high-performing Asian economies (HPAEs) realized their staggering success between 1965 and 1990. Examining how these countries stabilized their economies with sound development programs that led to fast growth, the book also shows how they shared the new prosperity by making income distribution more equitable. The book makes clear how the HPAEs promoted rapid capital accumulation by making banks more reliable and encouraging high levels of domestic savings, while universal primary schooling and better primary and secondary education quickly increased their skilled labor forces. Also included are illustrative examples of productive agricultural programs, modest tax policies, the modification of price distortions, foreign technology and investment, and the cooperation of government and private enterprise. Exposing to a broad audience the revolutionary process that transformed East Asia into the collection of economic juggernauts that it is today, this provocative World Bank report offers wisdom for today's up-and-coming markets, highlighting the policies that will make a difference as well as those that, despite their effectiveness in the Orient, could prove disastrous elsewhere., This book - written for the non-specialist - examines the public policies of eight 'high-performing Asian economies' (HPAEs) from 1965 to 1990. It analyses how those policies produced dramatic economic growth, improved human welfare, and provided more equitable income distribution.
