ECONOMICALLY INCOMPLET – SUPPLY SIDE ONLY
MANAGERIALLY INEFFICIENT – NO LINK BETWEEN CONTRIBUTION AND REWARD
PRIVATIZE AND PRIVATIZE CORRECTLY.
EFFICIENTLY AND FAIRLY
GOOD EXAMPLE: NONE THAT I KNOW OF.

4. Describe how exports helped sustain almost 9% growth per year for the past 35 years In Hong Kong And Taiwan.
TAIWAN WAS SMALL
NO POLITICAL BACKLASH
DOMESTIC MARKET TOO SMALL … E.G. CLASS
IN 1952 $200/YEAR/PERSON
8.5 MILLION PEOPLE
$1.7 BILLION/YEAR = SIZE OF MARKET IN TAIWAN IN 1952
IN 1952 $1000/PERSON/YEAR IN THE WORLD
2 BILLION PEOPLE
WORLD MARKET = $2000 BILLION/YEAR
SO, IF TAIWAN SOLD EXPORTS TO THE REST OF THE WORLD, IT WOULD INCREASE THE MARKET FOR ITS OUTPUT BY 1146 TIMES.
SO DEMAND UP èP UP, Q UP, PROFITS UP èI UP èD UP MORE
(SINCE AD = C+I+G+X, THEN IF I UP, AD UP)
DOMESTIC COSTS LOW, INTERNATIONAL HIGH è PROFITS HIGH, SALES INCREASE è INVESTMENT UP
SO FAR, WE HAVE MORE SALES, MORE PROFITS
IF I UP èK/L UP (CAPITAL LABOR RATIO)èEFFICIENCY UP è COST OF PRODUCTION DOWN èSUPPLY UP (OR SHIFT TO THE RIGHT)èP DOWN, Q UP
THE STUFF OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT: LOWER PRICE AND MORE OUTPUT èPROFITS UP èI UP
THIS PROCESS CONTINUED FOR MORE THAN 50 YEARS …
THIS IS HOW TAIWAN GOT TO GROW AT 8.17%/YEAR FOR THE PAST 55 YEARS.
