Editorial Reviews

Five contributions challenge the mainstream explanation of East Asian success, arguing that building strong accumulation dynamics rather than efficient markets was the basis of fast economic growth in the region. They suggest that considerable diversity in both the design and implementation of these policies, along with differences in key developmental institutions, characterizes this experience.
