Well the Philipines has just passed up Italy in GDP, and has long since surpassed spain, its kind of hard to think of the philipines as being anything other then a rich developed country but for a good part of the 40s, 50s, and even the early 60s they struggled and only really became an economic juggernaut during the 70s.

My question was this was it Invitable? What was it that led to the Philipino economic miracle? Was it good government, or was it made invitable by geography and culture as many economists think? What do you guys think?
