Information About

This book, a comparative study of the Philippines and Thailand, breaks new ground by highlighting the impact of non-economic institutions and cultural, kinship, and political values on economic performance. In the 1970s, they had a similar level of income, but in recent years the Thai economy has been performing much better, and in 1991, Thailand enjoyed a per capita GNP that was twice as high as in the Philippines.
