A notable contrast in modern economic history has been the rapid economic growth of China and the slower and volatile economic growth in Sub-Saharan Africa. As the engagement between the two continues to grows, there will be a greater cross-fertilization of experiences. Total factor productivity comparisons suggest that capital accumulation in China coupled with more efficient factor usage explains the differential with Africa. Although the two have similar populations and patterns of inequality, their growth trajectories have been divergent. What can Africa learn from China? Although the lessons vary depending on country location and resource endowment, seven basic lessons are visible. First, the political economy of Chinese reforms and the shared gains between political elites and the private sector can be partially transplanted to the African context. Second, the Chinese used diaspora capital and knowledge in the early reform years. Third, rural reforms in China helped accelerate economic takeoff through a restructuring of property rights and a boost to both savings rates and output. Fourth, Chinese growth has taken place in the context of a competitive exchange rate. Five, port governance in China has been exemplary, and African landlocked economies can benefit significantly from port reform in the coastal countries. Six, China has experimented with a degree of decentralization that could yield benefits for many Sub-Saharan African countries. Seventh, Africa can learn from China's policies toward autonomous areas and ethnic minorities to stave off conflict. Africa can learn from China's experiences and conduct developmental experiments for poverty alleviation goals.

In this paper, Arbache, Go, and Page examine the recent acceleration of growth in Africa. Unlike the past, the performance is now registered broadly across several types of countries-particularly the oil-exporting and resource-intensive countries and, in more recent years, the large- and middle-income economies, as well as coastal and low-income countries. The analysis confirms a trend break in the mid-1990s, identifying a growth acceleration that is due not only to favorable terms of trade and greater aid, but also to better policy. Indeed, the growth diagnostics show that more and more African countries have been able to avoid mistakes with better macropolicy, better governance, and fewer conflicts; as a result, the likelihood of growth decelerations has declined significantly. Nonetheless, the sustainability of that growth is fragile, because economic fundamentals, such as savings, investment, productivity, and export diversification, remain stagnant. The good news in the story is that African economies appear to have learned how to avoid the mistakes that led to the frequent growth collapses between 1975 and 1995. The bad news is that much less is known about the recipes for long-term success in development, such as developing the right institutions and the policies to raise savings and diversify exports, than about how to avoid economic bad times.

Bangkok has been at the frontier of capitalism's drive into the global south for three decades. Rapid development has profoundly altered public and private life in Thailand. In her provocative study of contemporary commerce in Bangkok, Ara Wilson captures the intimate effects of the global economy in this vibrant city. The Intimate Economies of Bangkok is a multifaceted portrait of the intertwining of identities, relationships, and economics during Bangkok's boom years. Using innovative case studies of women's and men's participation in a range of modern markets-department stores, go-go bars, a popular downtown mall, a telecommunications company, and the direct sales corporations Amway and Avon-Wilson chronicles the powerful expansion of capitalist exchange into further reaches of Thai society. She shows how global economies have interacted with local systems to create new kinds of lifestyles, ranging from "tomboys" to corporate tycoons to sex workers. Combining feminist theory with classic anthropological understandings of exchange, this historically grounded ethnography maps the reverberations of gender, sexuality, and ethnicity at the hub of Bangkok's modern economy.

Er is iets vreemds aan de hand. We waren nog nooit zo rijk als nu. Bedrijfswinsten, vermogens, pensioenpotten: naar bijna alle traditionele maatstaven leven we in uitzonderlijk welvarende tijden. Maar wie beter kijkt, ziet dat steeds minder mensen meedelen in al die welvaart. Ouderen moeten langer door tot hun pensioen. Jongeren hebben het voor het eerst minder goed dan hun ouders. En een woning is in veel steden ook voor de betere middenklasse onbetaalbaar. Zelfs wie zuinig leeft heeft een probleem: sparen kost binnenkort geld. Sander Heijne en Hendrik Noten onderzochten waar het misging met onze economie. Hoe kan het dat vrijwel niemand de groei van de economie nog terugziet in zijn of haar portemonnee? Wat bedoelen onze politici eigenlijk, als ze elkaar feliciteren met een 'goed presterende economie'? De zoektocht bracht ze van premier Rutte tot de oprichters van Uber, naar de boeken van Adam Smith. En van conferenties op Zwitserse bergtoppen tot de achterkamertjes van Den Haag. Vliegend door de tijd ontrafelen ze het systeem en rollen ze van de ene verbazing in de andere. Met als conclusie: de huidige hang naar groei is geen noodzaak, maar het resultaat van een verhaal dat we zijn gaan geloven. Er is niets vanzelfsprekends aan stagnerende lonen of veel te hoge huizenprijzen. Het kan anders: eerlijker en duurzamer. Het is tijd voor een nieuw verhaal, waarin de economie weer voor ons werkt, in plaats van wij voor de economie. Bron : https://www.businesscontact.nl

De Vylder gelooft dat historiografie zich te veel concentreert op het Westen en zo een vertekende werkelijkheid schept. Niet-westerse culturen waren belangrijk voor het ontstaan van de moderne wereld. In een zich globaliserende wereld waarin het economische zwaartepunt zich opnieuw verlegt naar het Oosten, is de erkenning van het enorme belang van Aziatische en andere niet-Europese culturen in het ontstaan van de moderne wereld van essentieel belang om succesvol interculturele communicatie op gang te brengen en te zoeken naar internationaal erkende ethische regels. Meteen biedt het boek een verhelderende inkijk in het 'Oosterse' economische denken en handelen.
