The high-growth economies of Asia covered stand in sharp contrast to the Latin American economies studied. Generally speaking, these economies have avoided populist policies, have shared the benefits of growth, and had relatively open economies. Economists are divided over the effectiveness of East Asian industrial policies.
For this discussion, you are asked to take a position - do you think industrial policies in East Asia worked or do you think they didn't work? Provide some insight to the position you take and defend your point of view. As always, make sure you back up your arguments with at least one reliable source.
