Transparency and Authoritarian Rule in Southeast Asia

Více o knize

Challenging the prevailing belief that capitalism thrives solely within liberal frameworks, Rodan presents a critical analysis of the 1997-98 Asian economic crisis. He argues that the crisis does not support the idea that economic systems require democratic institutions to succeed, offering a fresh perspective on the relationship between capitalism and political structures. Through this examination, the book invites readers to reconsider assumptions about economic development and the role of governance in shaping capitalism's trajectory.
