Growth is necessary to solve economic and social problems, but harder to achieve as the age of plenty gives way to the age of scarcities. The challenge opens the doors for an Asian economic model based on shifting of productivity for the individual to groups, ecological productivity instead of economic productivity, and a reversal to traditional Asian values - less materialistic than Western values. A new paradigm for economic thinking emerges to replace the one launched in the West 200 years ago Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Subject Economic history Economic policy Forecasting Social conditions Social policy SUBJECT Asia -- Social policy -- 21st century Asia -- Social conditions -- 21st century Asia -- Economic policy -- 21st century Asia -- Economic conditions -- 21st century Asia -- Forecasting Subject Asia Form Electronic book Author Institute of Southeast Asian Studies.
