The economic achievements of several East Asian countries over the past quarter century have had an enormous impact on development policy.

The number of people below the poverty line in these countries has fallen dramatically.

Per capita income has risen so fast that some of the economies are no longer classified as "developing".

These East Asian economies have grown more than three times faster than the Latin American and Caribbean countries during the same period. "Pathways to Growth" examines the diverging experiences of the two regions.

Chapters by researchers, policymakers and statesmen from Latin America, East Asia and other parts of the world analyze economic growth, savings rates, capital markets, exports, education policies and economic reform.

Pointing to Latin America's own recent economic reforms and achievements, the authors examine how development policies key to East Asia's success could be applied to the Latin American experience.
