From reading the news everyday, our instinct is to mistrust government as innately corrupt and inept in delivering welfare. Postwar Japan proved otherwise in reviving the country while creating and then using modern industrial policy and innovation systems to facilitate its dizzying growth rate from 1950 to 1972.

I bought the three books to fill up gaps in the development framework for emerging markets that I am trying to cobble up in the context of today’s fast moving technology environment.

None of the five pillars in President Noynoy Aquino’s first Medium-Term Philippine Development Plan (MTPDP), that is being drafted as I write this post, addresses the needed social innovation in Institutions to improve competitiveness for the Philippines.
