Información sobre este eBook
Have you ever wondered how some nations are so developed? What did they do to reach there? This book is an easy, story like narration of development paths followed by 11 successful nations of the world. It throws light on the crucial factors that enabled them to reach these heights. The book shows how Japan, South Korea and Singapore picked up the pieces after devastating wars and grew to be formidable economic powers. It talks about the journeys of China and Russia (erstwhile USSR) after selecting a completely different econo-political philosophy of communism. It shows how the Baltic Nations smoothly steered their way into prosperity after the disintegration of USSR. There is a story on Oman, an underdeveloped and politically disturbed nation transforming into a fully developed, peaceful nation in the middle of the war torn Gulf region. Israel, the nation made mainly by refugees, managed to reach levels of living that are envy of most developing nations. Kenya is included as a role model for African nations. Brazil tells the story of South American nations where volatility is the rule. Australia developed fast in spite of being far away and cut-off from the rest of the world. Rarely a book gives insights into development histories of so many nations in one place. This book is relevant for development economists, international managers, avid world trotters and any curious reader wanting to peep into the field of development.
