Chapter 1Asia Amid the Varieties of Capitalism Debate

Hundt, David; Uttam, Jitendra

Pages: 1 –21

[This chapter explains how and why Asia has been excluded from debates about capitalist development. The ‘varieties of capitalism’ approach has hitherto been primarily used to analyse Western capitalism, while the ‘developmental state’ (DS) thesis has been the main framework for analysing...

Chapter 2State and Society in Asian Capitalism

Hundt, David; Uttam, Jitendra

Pages: 23 –38

[This chapter begins by arguing that the DS thesis was a retrospective and revisionist validation of the state-led developmental paradigm in some Asian societies, but not necessarily a genuine theory of capitalism. It next explains how and why Asia has been a notable oversight from the VoC...

Chapter 4Confucian Capitalism: ‘Organised from the Top’ in Korea and ‘Reorganised from the Bottom’ in Taiwan

Hundt, David; Uttam, Jitendra

Hundt, David; Uttam, Jitendra

Pages: 117 –147

[This chapter analyses the development of capitalism in Singapore and Hong Kong. It identifies the similarities between these ‘entrepôt economies’ and other Asian DSs, and also how and why the city states are distinct in their own right. These economies, we argue, reacted differently from...

Chapter 6Malaysia’s ‘State Capitalism’ and Thailand’s ‘Alliance Capitalism’

Hundt, David; Uttam, Jitendra

Pages: 149 –187

Chapter 7India’s ‘Democratic Capitalism’ and China’s ‘Market Socialism’

Hundt, David; Uttam, Jitendra

Pages: 189 –221

[India’s ‘democratic capitalism’ and China’s ‘market socialism’ have more areas of divergence than convergence. Different historical legacies, state structures, bureaucracies, orientations of industrialisation, and sources of finance contributed to sharply differing developmental policies. The...

Chapter 8Asian Capitalism and the VoC Debate

Hundt, David; Uttam, Jitendra

Pages: 223 –241

[This chapter first collates the findings of the case studies and uses them to draw conclusions about the nature of Asian capitalism. Capitalist societies across the region differ markedly in ideas, institutions, and policies, but we argue that there is a degree of commonality that constitutes a...
