This book exposes the underside of the economic boom that has occurred in Asia over the past few decades. Backman's analysis of dubious business practices is both compelling and unsettling, revealing how endemic cronyism, corruption, inadequate legal protection, and political patronage have all contributed to Asia's economic woes. While much of Backman's analysis is bleak, his final discussion of recent legislation and the lessons that may have been learned provide hope for the future. Recommended for readers interested in the intersection of business and politics in Asia.
