Focusing on the relationship between race and financial capitalism, the project considers the conditions that made possible the “Asianisation” of the miracle and the crisis that followed. A key line of inquiry examines the ideological contestations between neoliberalism and the developmental state model that unfolded during the period, through which the so-called invisible hand of the market was pitted against the interventionist hand of the “Asian” state.
