Cover A General Theory of Economic Development
A General Theory of Economic Development
Towards a Capitalist Manifesto
Sung-Hee Jwa
This book makes the bold attempt at proposing a new general theory of economic development. The main premise is that economic institutions and policies must embody ‘economic discrimination’ if there is to be any chance of real economic development. By economic discrimination, the author means ‘treating differences differently’ by selecting and supporting economic entities and behaviour that contribute positively to the economy. The book identifies markets, government and corporations as the ‘holy trinity of economic development’, that is, the three most important institutions that must work together via economic discrimination to steer the economy towards real transformative progress. The book also warns against the current trend of economic egalitarianism or ‘not treating differences differently’ because it destroys economic incentives and results in an array of economic problems including growth stagnation.

Cover State Capitalism
State Capitalism
Barbara Krug

State Capitalism offers an illuminating guide to the debate about contemporary state capitalism: does it simply use different tools from other variants of capitalism, or is it an altogether new kind of economic regime? Barbara Krug, a leading expert in this field, sets out to define the concept of contemporary state capitalism as an economic model and presents a nuanced view of state capitalism in action. She points the way to new areas for further study and analysis.

Betterment and Compensation in China
Li Tian
This book presents an analysis of betterment and compensation issues under the Land Use Rights (LURs) System in China since 1988. The topic originates from the observation of widening inequity and increasing uncertainty associated with the failure of government to adequately address betterment and compensation issues. An analytical framework of institutions and property rights is employed to examine socio-economic impacts under the LURs system, in particular, the role of the state is analyzed to explore the effects of government intervention in land markets.

The Chinese Experience
Ding Chen
This important new book attempts to establish a fresh conceptual framework for the study of corporate governance by employing the new institutional economics of contract enforcement. This framework helps to clarify two critical issues including the role of law in financial development and whether there is an optimal corporate governance model that should be followed by countries attempting to develop their own stock markets.

Formal and Informal Patterns of Coordination
Editors: Werner Pascha, Cornelia Storz, and Markus Taube
This illuminating book broadly addresses the emerging field of ‘diversity of capitalism’ from a comparative institutional approach. It explores the varied patterns for achieving coordination in different economic systems, applying them specifically to China, Japan and South Korea. These countries are of particular interest due to the fact that they are often considered to have developed their own peculiar blend of models of capitalism.
