Book Overview

Completely revised since its first publication in 1996, this book is about the transformation of a country over one roller-coaster decade. It is about the econoics of boom and bust, but also about politics, social changes, and popular culture. "Digs much deeper than the superficial analyses of business trends . . . to explain how a whole society is being transformed by an industrial revolution of unprecedented speed."-Financial Times of London This description may be from another edition of this product.

Clear, Well Written, Insightful and Comprehensive

This is the most interesting and easily read book I have ever come across dealing with issues of economic and political development. Thai politics and economics are complex and confusing. This book makes sense of the conflicting strains in Thailand and will enable even a novice to makes sense of of information from Thai newspapers. Fascinating for anyone interested in global economics or Thai culture.
