Today is the birthday of Alejandro Lichauco, author of the “Nationalist Economics”, a book that traced the economic development of the industrialized countries and more importantly, he showed how and why the Philippines failed to industrialize despite the lead we had over South Korea, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia in the 50's. I believe that this book is very important now as we can gain insights from this book on how to address the issues of the 21st century. I wrote in Astro-time 2008 that the economic downturn can become an opportunity for us to catch up, but we have to work double time.
Happy Birthday Mr. Lichauco ! And may you have more years to live and so that you guide us. I hope you can update and reprint your book so that a new generation of Filipinos will be more prepared to face the challenges that we are facing and what they will face - so that the country will be more successful.
