Sommario/riassunto |
|
This book, 'Asian Economies: History, Institutions, and Structures' by Jamus Jerome Lim, provides a comprehensive analysis of the economic history, institutional frameworks, and structural developments of various Asian countries. It emphasizes the historical legacy and political-economic institutions that have shaped Asia's economic trajectory. The book compares development journeys across Asia and explores their integration with the global economy. It targets students and professionals in multinational corporations and financial institutions who may not have a deep economics background but require analytical tools and quantitative knowledge. The book fills a gap in literature by offering a cohesive narrative suitable for upper-level undergraduate courses in regional economic studies. |
