Readings: Bush

"Ultimately, the best evidence for free market capitalism is its performance compared to other economic systems. Free markets allowed Japan -- an island nation with few natural resources -- to recover from war and grow into the world's second-largest economy. Free markets allowed South Korea to make itself one of the most technologically advanced societies in the world. Free markets turned small areas like Singapore, Hong Kong, and Taiwan into global economic players. And today, the success of the world’s largest economies comes from their embrace of free markets."
President George W. Bush, November 13, 2008

A similar process of logic would leave one to conclude that their success was due to their being Asian.
