Abstract

In February 2011 a new book was launched in Singapore called ‘How Asia can Shape the World: From the Era of Plenty to the Era of Scarcities’. The author, Jorgen Oerstrom Moeller, was a former diplomat from Denmark who is a close observer of Asia and who can see that there is a major tide change in global affairs. He believes that the era of scarcity has begun as the limits of the earth are consumed by modern industrial economies based on the American model. The next century, he suggests, will be the time for Asia to demonstrate to the world how to create a different kind of global economy that is more sustainable and is based on “shifting of productivity from the individual to groups, ecological productivity instead of economic productivity, and a reversal to traditional Asian values — less materialistic than Western values”…
