| Summary: | This volume challenges dominant narratives about Southeast Asia's development by bridging a long-standing intellectual divide. On the one hand, liberal thinkers rarely engage with the developmental histories and practices of the non-Western world. On the other, Asian scholars and heterodox critics often treat economic liberalism as a 'neoliberal' project imported in unsavoury circumstances. Bringing these worlds into conversation, 'Southeast Asia's Development' advances a distinct view of liberal development in the tradition of Adam Smith and F.A. Hayek - rooted in individualism, social pluralism, and negative rights - to expose the failures of the region's entrenched model of elite-driven political capitalism. |
