My comment:
(a) Read only the first five paragraphs.
(b) The Economist reviewed the book half a year ago, which I introduced to you then.
(c) What is interesting about these 5 paragraphs is an angle I did not hear of before, about how and why Germany and Japan rose from ashes after World War II.
(d) The reviewer, Timur Kuran, is introduced in this article as "Professor of Economics and Political Science, and Gorter Family Professor of Islamic Studies at Duke University" (copied from Duke’s Web page of his).
Born, raised and having finished high school in Istanbul, Turkey, he came to US in 1973 and earned 1977 AB in economics from Princeton, and 1982 PhD from Stanford.
