Opis

The ideas contained in Karl Popper's 'The Open Society and Its Enemies' are relevant to anyone seeking to understand the recent history of the East Asian economies. Even though Popper wrote his tract to provide an explanation for the rise of totalitarian regimes in Europe in the 20th century, many of the arguments that he advanced in this context also explains the relationships that are seen in modern South Eastern Asian economies. This interdisciplinary book makes the link between the Popperian framework and East Asian socio-economic relationships.
