Sometimes The Lack Of Substantive Freedoms Relates

Japan Became An Imperialist Country In Many Ways, But That Was Much Later, After It Had Already Made Big Progress. I Don’t Think Japan’s Wealth Was Based On Exploiting China. Japan’s Wealth Was Based On Its Expansion In International Trade.

Gender Inequality Is Not One Problem, It's A Collection Of Problems.

I Think In Those Countries, Including My Own In India, Where I Think Primary Education Has Been Badly Neglected By Successive Governments, I Blame The Opposition As Much. Why Have They Allowed The Government To Get Away With It?

I'’m Generally In Favor Of Economic Globalization. Having Said That, It Doesn’t Always Work And Does Not Immediately Work In The Interest Of All. There Are Sufferers.

South Korea From A Country That Had Relatively Little Primary Education Became Close To Universal Literacy In The Course Of 25, 30 Years, In A Way Trying To Replicate What Japan Had Done Earlier. They Were Learning To Some Extent From The Japanese Experience Too. So I Think, In A Sense, The East Asians Were Following A Path, Which All Other Countries Including South Asia Could Follow But Chose Not Too.
