Zusatztext "[Hamilton and Kao] have written a highly accessible and readable narrative that covers a half-century of economic history central to understanding Taiwan, businesses and entrepreneurs, and global capitalism. The breadth and depth of their study, covering almost all sectors of Taiwan's consumer exports over a course of 30 years, is nearly unprecedented. In sum, this study constitutes an incredibly in-depth, significant, and consequential contribution to scholarship on the Taiwanese economy, and should be necessary reading for readers seeking to understand modern Taiwan."
