Industrialization in Malaysia: Import Substitution and Infant Industry Performance (Routledge Studies in the Growth Economies of Asia)
Editorial Review :: Import Substitution Strategy enjoyed its heyday in the 1970s but has been largely discredited and replaced by free market policies in the 1980s. However, it has been recently acknowledged that some of the most successful growth economies in the Pacific Rim combined protectionist ISI policies with export-oriented policies. A systematic rethinking of the relationship between import substituting and export oriented industrialization strategies is provided by this study using: direct price comparisons to estimate the effective rate of protection (ERP); an examination of the dynamic performance of infant industries using total factor productivity growth (TFPG) and domestic resource cost (DRC); and a comparison of the experience with the case of South Korea.

Performance (1970 Film)
Memo from Turner is one the best Stones song ever. Mots of the other songs are great, but some are just weird synthesizer-type sounds. The best parts, though, are second to none
Editorial Review :: Most will be drawn to this for the throw-away solo track by Mick Jagger, "Memo from Turner." It's a troubling collection, which tends to be a fair representation of the movie, except for the always rock-solid Ry Cooder, who has since developed into an excellent film score artist. Here he offers three tracks, though none approach his best work. Randy Newman is always a pleasure, especially when not throwing himself at gimmickry, and Buffy Sainte- Marie's "Died, Dead, Red" is worth a spin. --Scott Wilson

Innovation, Employment, and Firm Performance in the German Service Sector
Empirical and theoretical evidence on the German service sector is inversely related to its growing overall importance for the entire economy. This monograph offers a comprehensive theory-based econometric treatment of three important and severely understudied issues related to services: innovative activity, the effects of innovation on the demand for labour, and the performance of newly founded firms. In addition, the book contains detailed descriptive statistics on innovative activity, skill mix as well as on growth and current economic importance. It offers researchers, policy makers, and practitioners a unique opportunity to gain knowledge on the new German service economy.
