| | East Asian Tigers - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The current criticism of the East Asian Tigers is that these economies focus exclusively on export-demand, at the cost of import-demand. | | | East Asian Tigers all practiced aggressive land reform and made large investments in public health and elementary education. | | | Many economists have pointed out that the governments of the tigers were quite active in their economies. |

| | Davidson Economic Times & Review |
| | Much like the Middle Eastern countries during the oil boom, East Asian governments bought political support; however, East Asia's revenue was secured through global competition and investment that provided for equitable growth, not oil money. | | | However, the long-term investment and rural infrastructure that was made possible for this input mobilization, primed the HPAE for continued economic success and protection from the whims of international finance. | | | "How to consume wealth can prove more controversial than how to produce it."[11] An increasing number of East Asian citizens are using their stake in the economic system to demand greater political liberalization; the populace and the government are reversing the traditional roles they fulfilled under the social contract of an incipient Golden Miracle. |

| | RW ONLINE:Myth of the Asian Tigers |
| | Other East Asian countries, worried that their exports wouldn't be competitive, then also devalued their currencies. | | | The Asian Tiger economies have developed under the rule of brutal and repressive dictatorial governments. | | | The U.S. has also made clear that its interest in "helping" the Asian Tigers get out of their crisis goes beyond their role as trading partners. |

| | The general difficulty was that over the years the residents of Thailand or Indonesia had found it advantageous to borrow US dollars rather than their own currency. | | | The 49 biggest, with output worth hundreds of billions of dollars, are estimated by the investment house Goldmann Sachs to have earned profits of only $65m in the last financial year. | | | The crisis started on July 2 last year when Thailand ceased to peg its currency, the baht, at a rate of 25 to the US dollar. |

| | In fact, countries such as Malaysia, Korea and Taiwan proved adept at combining a high level of state intervention in allocating credit, nurturing new industries and acquiring new technology, with the strengths of market forces in encouraging competition and efficiency. | | | Protectionism may be out of favour in trade, but it is alive and well in the knowledge economy. | | | Countries which have opened up to international capital markets find themselves at the mercy of that elusive entity "market confidence". |

| | International Policy - April 1997 |
| | Since such policies are largely those of planned economies -- with government exercising enormous control over investment and industrial policy -- they have become the root cause of Asia's problems today. | | | That would allow firms to begin serving and relying more heavily on domestic markets -- which would be a healthy sign. | | | The East Asian states have followed export-oriented growth strategies -- suppressing domestic consumption, restricting foreign access to markets, and banning or strictly limiting foreigners from portfolio investment, all the while encouraging manufacturers to target foreign markets. |

| | How the south-east Asian tigers were tamed |
| | Criticisms of unpopular regimes and leaders in the region, such as Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia and Thailand, began to fade away, being replaced by praise for the way these countries’ governments boosted their economies. | | | But when the ‘boom’ came, Asian nations also began to indulge in "stock market" economics, in which growth and prosperity calculations are based on the value of stock markets rather than real life economic indicators. | | | Asian values — however they may be defined — were suddenly hyped as a key to progress for non-western countries. |

| | East Asian Tigers, a label pertinent to the recent economic history of the region. | | | East Asia and Eastern Asia (the latter being the preferred term used by the United Nations) are both more modern terms for the traditional European name the Far East, which describes the region's geographical position in relation to Europe rather than its location within Asia. | | | Chinese society (which would also include the dispersed Chinese-dominated regions of Hong Kong, Taiwan, Macau, and Singapore due to Singapore's large Chinese population) |
