Latin America and the Asian tiger economies
What can the region learn from the rapid economic growth seen in East Asia?
Go back 50 years and Latin America was generally wealthier than East Asia. But that has been reversed.
While the economies of East and South East Asia have taken off, enjoying a so-called "economic miracle", Latin America鈥檚 have experienced only tepid growth, despite the region鈥檚 enormous potential. Gideon Long asks why.
We go to Singapore, one of the most open and business friendly nations on earth, to visit a factory making credit cards using the latest computer chips. And we ask economists what Latin America can learn from the 'Asian Tigers'.
