The Transition from Central Planning: East Asia’s Experience

Dwight Perkins

Chapter 11 in Social Capability and Long-Term Economic Growth, 1995, pp 221-241 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Since 1989 the debate over the appropriate way to reform Soviet-style centrally planned systems has been dominated by the experience of Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union. China, once considered in the forefront of reform efforts, has been presumed to be backsliding since the Tiananmen Square tragedy. Vietnam’s experience, outside a small circle of specialists, is simply unknown. Ignorance of what has been happening in Laos and Mongolia is nearly complete. North Korea’s economic situation is a bit better known mainly because so little has changed in Pyongyang. North Korea is the last stronghold of the Stalinist development strategy.
