Description

Explore how Japan and South Korea transformed from agricultural societies into industrial powerhouses in The Economics of Rapid Growth by Dirk Pilat, published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This scholarly work applies catch-up theory to analyse the economic mechanisms behind remarkable growth rates in both nations. Pilat examines the critical factors that enabled rapid industrialisation, including pre-existing education levels, financial and commercial institutions, and infrastructure development. The book provides essential insights into how countries with lower initial income levels leverage advanced economies' technology to accelerate growth and modernisation. Essential reading for economists, business historians, and policy makers seeking to understand the foundations of East Asian economic success and the principles of rapid development.

Key Features

Pilat's work examines how education levels, financial institutions, and infrastructure enabled rapid industrialisation in both nations.

This Edward Elgar Publishing title explores technology transfer mechanisms that drive growth in developing economies.

The book provides historical and economic analysis of two of the twentieth century's most successful growth stories.

Suitable for economics students, academics, and professionals studying industrial development and economic history.
