The rapid recoveries experienced by the emerging economies have been contrasted with the sluggish recoveries in the advanced economies of America, Europe and Japan. More recently, however, the talk is of a great unravelling of the emerging markets story. China, in particular, has become a source of concern, with signs of slowing economic growth and a fall in share prices. More fundamentally, it is argued that East Asia is starting to hit the buffers of the ‘middle-income trap.’ Are these problems just a blip or did the world get carried away with talk of an economic miracle?
