N2  - This volume forms part of a series on industry and trade in several developing countries. The series was commissioned by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) under general editorship of Ian Little, Tibor Scitovsky, and Maurice Scott. Brazil, India, Mexico, and Pakistan are the subjects of other studies, and a comparative analysis by the overall editors rounds out the series.

The OECD, with 22 member nations in Europe and North America, aspires to bring together knowledge and experience from many lands to promote economic growth, fuller employment, and higher standards of living. It hopes to apply its findings to programs of economic aid for developing nations and to the expansion of world-trade on a multinational, non-discriminatory basis.

The volume under review offers a recent history, and a brief but authoritative appraisal and critique of post-war trade and industry in two countries, the Philippines and Taiwan. Both co-authors of the
Philippine part, John H. Power and Gerardo P. Sicat are professors of Economics at the University of the Philippines. Doctor Sicat is also Chairman of the National Economic Council of the Philippines. Professor Mo-huan Hsing lectures on Economics at Taiwan National University, and is director of the Institute of Economics of the Académica Sinica (Taiwan)
