I second Marty's analysis of the EA NICs. In addition, it's worth noting,
especially in Taiwan's case, that development was preceded by an extensive,
even radical, land reform program that effectively dispossessed foreign
holdings and large landlords while simultaneously providing access to land

I cannot understand either of these arguments as stated. Perhaps
I can make some sense of the Chomsky argument if the idea is that
that imperfect capital markets force GM to make such trade-offs,
but it is still odd to suppose that an idea that is _obviously_

The power of financial capital moves with, or in the opposite direction
of, retained earnings?

The Census Bureau has just released data on income & poverty in the U.S.
for 1993. For the second year of an economic recovery/expansion, the
numbers are shockingly awful. Poverty is up, and income down.
The releases are available on Cendata and the Census gopher. Or I'll be

In addition to being bulwarks against communismm s9 so that the US
allowed or even encouraged reforms such as land reform (as also in
Japan), both S. Korea and Taiwan had the advantage (ironically)
of having been occupied by Japan for a few years. Despite the mna

Jim's hypotheses are on target. It is also true that the individual
governments undertook land reforms. In Taiwan's case there was a
division of labor between the indigenous people versus the mainlanders.
The latter pretty much in control of the "modern" industrial sector. The

Jim, you are right, it is much easier to expropriate enemies than it is
allies. In T the Japanese had earlier displaced the big landlords and
provided a foundation for rice and sugar exports. During the 30s and 40s
they also built up industry. However, much of that was destroyed during
the war.
enough! first, unnamed leftists are trashed for going along with
Mandela's pragmatism or selling out or whatever you want to cdall call
it. Now unnamed leftists are trashed for criticizing Mandela!
Of whom are you speaking?
I think it's a mistake to either withhold criticism or constantly
carp
I second Anthony D'costa's comments on Mendela. The trade union position only
looks at wages of its workers but completely ignores the plight of unemployed
and other categories of poor. Mandela has a serious job at hand, and he does
need a lot of capital, like it or not. Now where is he supposed t
Ajit says that we should be cautious in criticizing Mandela for his
