THIS is a book about the immediate past and the distant future of mankind. It looks at the recent development experience of the world, particularly Taiwan and South Korea, and goes on to make predictions and give advice. But that is not all, for this is a book of disconcerting diversity. If you are an economist wondering about the causes of inflation you may turn to pages 294-325. If you are a mother worried about your child’s upbringing, just glance through pages 474-479. And I could go on and on.
