.....from Asian capitalism
By Kishore Mahbubani
Recent history has taught Asians a valuable lesson: more trade leads to greater prosperity.
Despite this,...After their experiences of the past 100 years, Asians are wary of ideology. They prefer the simple, commonsense approach of learning from experience and they will heed the advice of Adam Smith, who said that prudence is “of all virtues that which is most useful to the individual”. It may also be helpful to nations.
