The economic success of East Asia is often attributed to the relationship between state and business. In The State and Industry in South Korea , Jong-Chan Rhee presents a more balanced view of Korea's `industrial miracle'. The book examines the limits of a strong authoritarian state as a vehicle for intervening in the market or for sponsoring liberal reform. In so doing the author focuses on how state-controlled industrial adjustment in Korea has succeeded and failed.
