Learn about the economics of nine East Asian countries in an accessible, readable narrative!

In How Asia Works, Joe Studwell distills extensive research into Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, the Philippines, Vietnam, and China to show what happened in East Asia's economy and why. The book is considered essential reading for anyone interested in a region that will shape the future of the world.
