In \u003ci\u003eHow Asia Works\u003c\/i\u003e, Joe Studwell distills extensive research into the economics of nine countries--Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, the Philippines, Vietnam, and China--into an accessible, readable narrative that debunks Western misconceptions, shows what really happened in Asia and why, and for once makes clear why some countries have boomed while others have languished. Impressive in scope, \u003ci\u003eHow Asia Works\u003c\/i\u003e is essential reading for anyone interested in a region that will shape the future of the world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJoe Studwell\u003c\/b\u003e is the founder of the \u003ci\u003eChina Economic Quarterly\u003c\/i\u003e.
