内容简介
· · · · · ·
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.

1. land reform；2. export discipline in the with a focus on developing globally competitve companies；3. financial “repression”.
据说是bill gates本年度5本推荐书之一。。。我也推荐，文笔清晰易读，恰到好处的介绍了所谓亚洲的几个发展“模式”，很有趣。
分析比较东北亚和东南亚几个国家的经济发展模式，总的来说还是比较公正的书。专门有一章关于中国，比较中肯，至少不是唱衰。
详细介绍了亚洲各国政府为建立成功的经济而实施的经济模式，其中包括了日本、韩国、中国和其他国家及地区。
这些国家和地区的成功与西方大学以及国际货币基金组织和世界贸易组织等机构所强调的传统经济理念相悖。无节制的自由市场可能对不发达的经济体有害。成功的亚洲经济体在开放其经济的哪些部分以及何时开放的层面是有计划的。
书中引用的策略包括：
土地改革：将土地从效率低下的封建地主手中分配给小农户；
移民政…
