| Abstract
|
:
|
This book purports to investigate and compare the economic development experiences in both Taiwan and South Korea in last two decades. Taiwan and South Korea's economic development after WWII is a well-known story. However, their development after the successful post-war industrialization has not been comprehensively studied. The book examines whether the three factors - the role of private business, government policy, and foreign influence - that had contributed to Taiwan's and Korea's post-war development, are still relevant during the post-industrial development era.
