Eight countries in East Asia–Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia–have become known as the “East Asian miracle” because of their economies’ dramatic growth.  

  • In these eight countries real per capita GDP rose twice as fast as in any other regional grouping between 1965 and 1990.  
  • Even more impressive is their simultaneous significant reduction in poverty and income inequality.
