The Political Economy of Neo-modernisation “It is of great value to complement the limitations of contemporary mainstream economic growth discourse by exploiting the complex relations between technology, development and inequality.” —Hak-Su Kim, Former Under-Secretary-General of the United Nations “How will the fourth industrial revolution change the process of economic development? Baek’s bold attempt to answer this question by integrating the theory of the technology S-curve with various nation’s developmental processes is arguably a novel approach.” —Yu-Sang Chang, Chaired Professor of Gachon Centre of Convergence Research “The theoretical strategy to present the inter-dynamic relationship between technological changes and inequality evolution by stages of economic development is innovative in explaining the root causes of developmental trajectories that are different for each country.” —Mohamed El Moctar Mohamed El Hacene, Director of the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia “Baek’s book fizzes with original ideas and arguments that will resonate with anyone struggling to reconcile the collective aspirations embodied in the SDGs with the complex and chaotic reality of contemporary global development dynamics.” —James Copestake, Professor of International Development at the University of Bath
