Among the vast and burgeoning literature, contrast the positive evaluation by Watanabe Toshio and Fukagawa Yukiko, Gonengo no Kankoku (Tokyo: PHP Kenkyusho, 1988), with the negative assessment by Murotani Katsumi, “Kankokujin” no keizaigaku (Tokyo: Daiyamondosha, 1988), which, incidentally, verges on being a “racist” account.

Stanford: Stanford University Press; 1982, book, Just as he rejected the conventional economic explanation and propounded a state-centric perspective on Japanese economic growth, Amsden performs the same feat for Korea. Strikingly, while they both succeed in debunking the conventional economic “wisdom,” they both fall prey to another myth that touts the centrality and autonomy of the state.
