Korea and Mexico: Two growth strategies with disparate results, José Antonio Romero and JUlen Berasaluce, México, El Colegio de México, 2018, 403 pp

Abstract

In this book, Romero and Berasaluce address a crucial question: why has the Mexican economy performed so poorly compared to the success shown by Korea over the last 50 years? What kind of economic policies did the Korean government promote that allowed it to become part of the select group of developed countries, while Mexico remains underdeveloped? What role did the Korean government play in driving the development of the economy and achieving higher levels of welfare for its population?
