Opis

First published in 1998, this volume investigates the transaction costs environment within which small-scale industrial activities are set through drawing extensively on the Asian experience, (predominantly China and Vietnam but also India and Taiwan), identifying sources of transaction costs by examining not only the transactional disadvantages of small-scale production, but also the past and present sources of institutional inefficiency.
