Simon Johnson has a good post on how a bloated financial sector is often a curse to rich countries like the United States. The piece can use a small correction.
It gives South Korea as an example of a middle income country in which manufacturing still is a dominant force. South Korea really should be viewed as an advanced country. It’s per capita income is higher than Italy’s and only about 10 percent lower than the United Kingdom’s.
