South Korea has been quietly growing into a major economic force, even challenging Japan in some industries. This growth may be seen as an example of "late industrialization" and this book discusses this point.
The rise of South Korea as a major economic power in the Far East, challenging even Japan for world markets, has been widely noted. This is a book about how late industrialization, taking place in the 20th century, especially since the Second World War, has brought about the growth of the South Korean economy. It also compares the late industrialization experiences of other countries such as Taiwan, Brazil, Turkey, India, and Mexico, and draws conclusions regarding why some countries have been successful and others have not. The author argues that Korea has been successful because the government not only subsidized and protected certain industries, but it also demanded strict performance standards from those it helped. The author also examines the role of labour and education in creating good conditions for economic growth.
