Learning from the Asian Tigers

'Lall's book is a breath of pragmatic fresh air in an important policy debate in which ideological preconceptions have too often got in the way of balanced analysis. In a language that all can understand, Lall offers students and policymakers a balanced and pragmatic assessment of the great variety of approaches to industrial and technological development that the Tigers have employed. His work provides a powerful antidote to the oversimplified bromides of the left and the right.' - G.K. Helleiner, Professor of Economics, University of Toronto
