Abstract
Vietnam is undergoing a process of rapid societal and economic transformation as it is moving from a centralized to an increasingly market-based economic model. It is doing so at a very late stage of development when other countries have shown possible ways of progress but have secured first mover advantages in doing so and at a time of global climate change and insecurity. This chapter outlines the structure of the book which examines these issues.

Notes
- 1.
‘Political market imperfections’ is read as ‘market and political market imperfections’.
- 2.
Somewhat ironically, perhaps, a recent paper has made the claim that the search for TFP was something of a chimera, since the central variables concerned were related definitionally, thereby rendering the analysis fruitless (Felipe and McCombie 2017).
- 3.
- 4.
This term was developed by Frobel et al. (2009).
