About the Event:
Misery Beneath the Miracle in East Asia dismantles the illusion of East Asia's economic miracle, focusing on the social costs of unchecked growth. In this book talk, Lukauskas and Shimabukuro will explain how the productivist welfare strategies have created a multidimensional welfare crisis, leaving millions unprotected.
