• 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.
