This book examines the diffusion of economic ideas in East Asia, assessing the impact of external ideas on internal theory and practice. It considers economists from Adam Smith onwards, including Marx, Keynes, Hayek and contemporary economists, and covers the subject both historically and also includes present day and likely future developments. The book covers all the major countries of East Asia, and pays particular attention to specific economists who have had a strong impact in specific countries, and to important developments in economic theory in East Asia, exploring how far these have been driven by Western economic ideas.

This book will be welcomed by students and scholars of East Asia and South-east Asia, as well as those interested in economics, economic history and management.

Malcolm Warner is Professor and Fellow Emeritus, Wolfson College, Cambridge and Cambridge Judge Business School, University of Cambridge, UK.
