<p><div> <p>While the world's attention has been focused on the spectacular economic success of Japan and Korea, the less developed countries of Asia have often been neglected.&nbsp; Asian Development closes the gap.&nbsp; In nontechnical style and with minimal mathematics, it presents an in-depth perspective on the economic development of fourteen countries in East, Southeast, and South Asia.<br /> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Asian Development is mainly a story of success.&nbsp; Though some problems remain, Asian countries have shown remarkable resilience in responding to sharp changes in the international economy--oil shocks, world recession and inflation, exchange-rate and interest-rate fluctuations, and rapid technological change.&nbsp; The authors conclude that their ability to adjust to changing external conditions is closely related to intelligent governmental policies.&nbsp; Looking back they comment:&nbsp; "In the past, growth of the United States and Japan pulled up the growth rates of the smaller economies in the region."&nbsp; Looking forward, they predict:&nbsp; "In the future, increasingly it will be the growth of the Asian developing countries that acts as a catalyst to growth in the more advanced economies."</p> </div></p>
