- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Great writing, clear conceptual framework, and fair balance between annecdotal evidence and data- although I missed some citations to scientific papers that look at a larger sample size in a more empirical fashion. I learn a great deal and his predictions about China stand the test of time. Highly recommended!

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5It's a very interesting and well-written book. However, if you're plannimg to read it in order to get to know more about the tech and innovation explosion in the region, you'll be disappointed. The focus of the is to explain the economic history of the countries in the region and why they got to the point they are today. That taken into consideration, it's a great learning experience that helps you understand why other developing countries struggle to become bigger, better and fairer nations.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5First off, while the audiobook is superbly narrated it is missing the entire Introduction and also the entire first section of Part 1! I hope this is corrected but in the meantime the reader should look for them in the text version before starting the audiobook as without them the book can be incomprehensible.
The book itself is fantastic and I recommend it without hesitation not only for those interested in economic development but also anyone interested in economic history and political economy generally.4 people found this helpful
