Post-WW II S. Korea and Taiwan are models of *multinational* capitalism. In 1917, there was (1) no Keynesianism in the rich countries to finance consumption (the gold/sterling standard and fiscal austerity was still the rule), (2) no containerized shipping to drive an export boom, and (3) no booming semiperiphery to export to.
