'This is an original and insightful account of the development of the Korean economy. It explains the development of that economy in a challenging way putting government, international links and key private sector bodies and the links between these at the heart of the account. In doing so it provides a refreshing perspective that is important not just for those interested in East Asia or different pathways to economic strength but to anyone interested in different ways of looking at modern economic and urban development.'
