F
or several decades a debate has been raging in development economics
on the relative virtues of the free market as opposed to state interven-
tion. With the help of analytical models of a market economy, the
interventionists demonstrate what they consider serious instances of "market
failure"—that is, the inability of a market economy to reach certain desirable
outcomes in resource use. The protagonists of free markets, on the other hand,
compile impressive lists of ill-conceived and counterproductive policy measures
implemented by the governments of different countries at various times, lead-
ing to wasteful use of resources in their economies.
This debate inevitably remains inconclusive. The analytical results on
"market failure" do not disappear in the face of the evidence that most
governments (or for that matter most economies of less developed countries,
with or without state intervention) have performed rather badly. When there
appears to be scope for improvement over the market outcome, the search for
the appropriate corrective measures goes on. Some protagonists of "govern-
ment failure" question the significance of such market failures; others voice
skepticism about the ability of governments to take any action in the economy
which is not counterproductive; but none of them seems to be able to explain
why a less developed country like India failed to grow during the first half of
this century under a non-interventionist colonial administration. Thus, while
the debate goes on, neither side succeeds in convincing the other.
Theories of Development
1
Although, following Scitovsky, latter-day development economists focussed their attention on
externalities and the resultant suboptimality of the competitive equilibria, Rodan himself was
primarily worried about the inadequate working of the price mechanism in the absence of strong
substitution effects.
2
Externalities occur when a complete set of Arrow-Debreu markets do not exist. Pecuniary
externalities result from the absence of future markets. Recent researches on the working of
economies with incomplete markets (and imperfect information) show that in such situations even
competitive markets fail to optimally perform the required risk-sharing functions. Competitive
equilibria for such an economy are not constrained Pareto-efficient and there exist schemes of
government intervention which can induce Pareto-superior outcomes (Greenwald and Stiglitz,
1986).

In the field of development planning one often hears people talking about "a good plan
implemented badly." This dichotomy between the formulation and the implementation of a plan is
usually false. If a plan is supposed to be a feasible action program, then it must have been designed
on the basis of realistic assumptions regarding the expected behavior of economic agents. Difficul-
ties regarding implementation should arise only from unanticipated exogeneous shocks.

Arrow (1962) analyzed the implications of acquiring skill through the actual process of operating
production capacities over time.
5
Stiglitz (1987) analyzed the importance of "the frame of mind which is associated with asking 'how
this task can be performed better?' " This has implications not only for decision-making at the firm
and the industry levels, but also for choosing a policy framework in which the industrial economy
can learn to take better advantage of its economic environment.

Starting from comparable levels of poverty in the early 1960s, the economies of South Korea and
India charted widely divergent growth paths for the next three decades. In 1961 India had $73 per
capita income at current prices, while the corresponding figure for South Korea was $180. In 1987
the per capita incomes at current prices for these two countries were $300 and $2690 respectively
(World Bank, 1989).

For example, when a famine occurred in any part of the country, officials in charge of the famine
relief instituted rationing schemes for distributing foodgrains to well-defined target groups of
victims on the basis of established need-based norms.

Losses incurred by the public sector enterprises are automatically borne by the government. As
such these enterprises are not disciplined by any fear of bankruptcy. Kornai described this situation
as one of decision-making under a "soft budget constraint."

Krueger (1974) saw the rent-seeking phenomenon as a shrinking of the production possibility set
due to the withdrawal of resources from production to rent-seeking. Perhaps more important than
the resource cost of rent-seeking are the effects of the policy environment on the perception of
economic agents. In such an environment, producers tend to become obsessed with the short run
gains associated with cornering the licenses at the cost of the long run benefits connected with
technological and managerial improvements.

society on its investments. The industrial economy settles into a modest growth
path.
While bureaucratic rationing became the predominant mode of regulation
for the manufacturing industries in India's private sector, India adopted a
market-oriented form of regulation for agriculture. Since it was not practicable
to introduce licensing schemes for the millions of farmers in the country, the
Indian state essentially relied on fiscal measures to raise the prices of crops and
to lower costs of inputs, thereby increasing the profit opportunities in the
farms. This meant giving up on the objectives of interregional and interper-
sonal equities in the context of agricultural development, because only large
farms in favorably located regions could take maximum advantage of these
market incentives. This difference is rather ironic, because nearly 80 percent of
India's population lives in rural areas and the scope for promoting equity is so
much greater in the field of agricultural development than in the context of
modern industries.
The Republic of Korea had a different historical experience to draw upon,
when it came to designing an implementation mechanism. Under the Japanese
occupation before the Second World War, Korea had achieved an impressive
level of industrialization. Much of the produce of these industries was sold
abroad. In fact, it was only in the late 1960s that South Korea's industrial
economy and its export performance (as measured by the shares of manufac-
turing and of exports in the GDP) reached the levels attained by Korea in 1940.
Of course, these industries were then owned and managed by the Japanese; but
Koreans at junior levels acquired valuable skills in managing industries and
trade. By contrast, the Japanese occupation did not use Korean personnel in
running its civil administration. Thus, President Park Chung Hee had to rely
on the new emerging business elite to form his team for development adminis-
tration in the 1960s. Park and his team used a variety of means—financial
incentives, persuasion and sometimes coercion—to influence the behavior of
industrialists and traders. 1 0
Another important difference between South Korea and India relates to
the extent of direct control wielded by the state over the economy's investment
resources. With the resources mobilized through the nationalized banks, for-
eign aid and the public sector, the Korean state in the '70s had direct control
over about two-thirds of the aggregate investment funds available to the
10
Jones and Sakong (1980) describe in some detail how President Park forged his alliance with the
Korean business community. Under the "Special Law for Dealing with Illicit Wealth Accumulation"
most of the country's prominent businessmen were arrested and threatened with confiscation of
their assets. Eventually a deal was struck, whereby the government withdrew criminal prosecution
and the businessmen agreed to set up some basic industries approved by the government. Later on
they were sent abroad under government auspices to negotiate for foreign loans for a number of
investment projects. These businessmen later formed the powerful Federation of Korean Industries
(FKI) which became a partner of President Park's government in fashioning the growth of the
Korean economy.
32 Journal of Economic Perspectives
economy. Korea used credit policy, with differential interest rates ranging from
8 to 34 percent, to channel investments in the desired directions. With this level
of command over the capital market, there was not a great deal of need for
direct intervention in the sphere of commodity production and exchange.
Nevertheless, direct controls, like licensing of production and quantitative
restrictions on imports, were widely used. However, the procedures were
prompt, and the decisions were made by a high-level committee, a feasible
method in a small country (Datta-Chaudhuri, 1981a).
At the enterprise level, the public sector units in Korea had autonomous
management, not burdened with a multiplicity of objectives. In the absence of
any consideration for regional equity, economies of scale were never sacrificed.
Although the producers were given generous protection in the domestic mar-
ket, the incentive structure encouraged expansion on the basis of export
demand. In short, the Korean state was highly interventionist; but the interven-
tion schemes were geared towards developing and supporting the market
economy. The market environment encouraged quick learning as well as cost
and quality consciousness.
the Japanese example, the government of South Korea set up exactly ten
trading companies as there were in Japan. The phenomenal success of Korea in
exporting manufactured goods cannot be fully understood without appreciat-
ing the role played by these trading companies.
What these examples suggest is that important externalities do exist in
information processing and other exchange-related activities. There also seem
to be significant economies of scale and scope in these activities. The emergence
of the trading companies in East Asia, which horizontally integrated several
exchange-related activities to service the needs of independent producers,
explains the greater success of these economies in promoting labor-intensive
industrial growth. In many other parts of the world, the typical response of an
industrial organization to these externalities has been one of vertical integra-
tion, which led to increased supervision costs, which in turn induced a substitu-
tion of capital for labor (Datta-Chaudhuri, 1981b). We do not fully know why
trading companies do not play as important a role elsewhere as they do in East
Asia. However, the case of South Korea suggest that the promotional and
supportive role of the state in creating these institutions may be an important
factor in their development.
The state-run sales organizations for cottage industry production in India
and the state-promoted but privately held trading companies of South Korea
provide examples of the need for a certain kind of market organization to
support the industrial progress of an economy. These organizations can be said
to constitute the "soft" infrastructure of an industrial economy, which is
different from the "hard" infrastructure emphasized earlier by Rosenstein-
Rodan. The "soft" infrastructure can take a wide variety of institutional forms,
with varying degrees of involvement on the part of the state, to serve the
function of catering to the informational and marketing needs of an industrial
economy (Datta-Chaudhuri, 1981b).
militant; but it does not seem to have affected the performance of the South
Korean economy adversely. The government of Singapore obviously moved
towards a repressive regime to ensure the political survival of the party in
power, but it sought legitimacy for its action by invoking economic arguments
which had some measure of popular appeal. It, of course, had the unfortunate
by-product of confusing many outside economists.
These matters make political economy a difficult subject. Nonetheless, it is
possible to identify a few broad features of a polity that crucially influence the
relationship between the state and the economy. For example, to explain the
evolution of the successful relationship between the state and the economy in
South Korea, it is important to consider the land reform imposed on that
country (as well as in Japan and Taiwan) from outside after the Second World
War. Land reform destroyed the political power of the landed aristocracy and
helped the emergence of the commercial and industrial middle classes as the
dominant elite in the country. The homogenous social base of the military and
the business elite in the early days of President Park paved the way for a system
("Korea Inc.") where the power of the state was brought to control the
economy through formal as well as informal channels (Jones and Sakong,
1980).
The importance of this phenomenon becomes apparent when one com-
pares the performance of the South Korean economy with that of the Philip-
pines. The two countries have remarkable similarities geographically as well as
in demographic terms. In the early 1960s, per capita incomes in the two
countries were very similar.11 Both countries had close relationships with the
United States in military, political and economic matters. The government of
each country had a strong ideological commitment to capitalism. Park Chung
Hee and Ferdinand Marcos were not dissimilar in their political values and in
their willingness to use repressive measures. Yet, the two economies had very
different records of economic growth. Social scientists do not as yet have the
tool-kit to explain these differences satisfactorily, but it is not difficult to see
how the dominance of the landed aristocracy in the political economy of the
Philippines hindered the creation of a dynamic capitalist economy. The same
factors were also responsible for the Philippines not trying to achieve a greater
measure of distributive justice in the society (Datta-Chaudhuri, 1981a).
In the case of India, the size and the heterogeneity of the country
prevented a single homogeneous group from dominating the polity and the
state. A few dominant classes, fragmented by regional differences, exert collec-
tive control over state machinery.12 Such a coalition had to rest on implicit
understandings regarding the manner in which the state could control and
11
According to the World Bank, per capita GNP at current prices in the Philippines went up from
$210 in 1967 to $590 in 1987. During the same period in South Korea it went up from $240 to
$2690.
