Can Asians think?

In this book, Kishore Mahbubani presents a series of essays that discuss the economic and social development of Asia, the differences between Eastern and Western values, and the implications of Asia's rising economies on global politics.

Mahbubani argues that Westerners need to recognize and adjust to the changing global landscape, where Asian economies are poised to surpass those of Europe and North America.

He also critiques Western condescending attitudes towards the East and highlights the success of Asian models of development, such as Singapore's, while acknowledging the complexities and challenges involved.
