Go East, Young Man

North, James | June 13, 1994 issue

add to cart close window

This article focuses on the book "Looking at the Sun: The Rise of the New East Asian Economic and Political System," by James Fallows. This book is an act of intellectual courage, in which he uses his experience in Asia to break convincingly with the neoliberal orthodoxy about economic development. He has gracefully written an ambitious, massively researched and reported survey of the East Asian nations, principally Japan. He shows convincingly how some of them have achieved tremendous rates of economic growth.
