How Asia Works: Success and Failure in the World's Most Dynamic Region
Joe StudwellTejas SubramaniamScott Alexander’s review of How Asia Works is good; I read the book a few months ago and it changed my worldview in many ways. I don’t think the book is perfect (e.g. on the effects of Chinese land reform, or explaining Malaysian economic growth) though. https://t.co/oTzs4XVUw2
