제목A Re-Evaluation of Asian Values : Positive and Normative Dimensions


설명Culturalist explanations almost always seem to lag actual events and often show a tendency to "overshoot". Culturalist explanations for the current Asian economic crisis have been no exception in this regard, and their speciousness has been matched only by previous exaltation of "Asian values." A positive analysis of the Asian miracle and debacle shows that economic factors, rather than cultural factors, played a far more important role in the evolution of Asian economics. In fact, Asia`s growth experience shows that it was only after the introduction of foreign values and institutions conducive to capitalism that Asia began its meteoric rise. For example, the Confucian disdain for commerce and physical labor had to be overcome before the Confucian emphasis on education and meritocratic advancement could support the formation of economically valuable human capital. Moreover, it was economic logic to pursue macroeconomic stability, promote exports, and coordinate investment based on the criteria of spillover and linkage effects.
