Summary
Summary
The growth in real income per person in the third-world nations of Latin America, Asia, and Africa, about twofold since 1950, is a mixed record. On the one hand, the growth warrants optimism, particularly in Taiwan, South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, China, other fast-growing Pacific Rim countries, and Brazil.
