The Years of Living Dangerously : Vines, Stephen - Thryft

Myth-busting look into misunderstood Asian economies.

This book would be a good read for those who are interested in understanding the Asian economies, companies, and markets in a comprehensive manner. Vines challenges some of the well-established myths and presents a clear picture of the excess and ignorance plaguing the region. The unique feature of this book is the focus on the fundamental weakness of Asian companies, which is often overlooked in discussions about the Asian crisis. Overall, this book provides a myth-busting and informative account of the Asian economies and is highly recommended for those interested in the subject.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.
