{"product_id":"asian-development","title":"Asian Development","description":"While the world's attention has been focused on the spectacular economic success of Japan and Korea, the less developed countries of Asia have often been neglected. \u003ci\u003eAsian Development\u003c\/i\u003e closes the gap. In nontechnical style and with minimal mathematics, it presents an in-depth perspective on the economic development of fourteen countries in East, Southeast, and South Asia. \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eAsian Development\u003c\/i\u003e is mainly a story of success. Though some problems remain, Asian countries have shown remarkable resilience in responding to sharp changes in the international economy—oil shocks, world recession and inflation, exchange-rate and interest-rate fluctuations, and rapid technological change. The authors conclude that their ability to adjust to changing external conditions is closely related to intelligent governmental policies. Looking back they comment: \"In the past, growth of the United States and Japan pulled up the growth rates of the smaller economies in the region.\" Looking forward, they predict: \"In the future, increasingly it will be the growth of the Asian developing countries that acts as a catalyst to growth in the more advanced economies.","brand":"University of Wisconsin Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56244033192280,"sku":"9780299117849","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780299117849_bcef8517-aaa0-4dd6-8fa9-02b59d2baf6b.jpg?v=1778301945","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/asian-development","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
