Why? A comparison of Asia and Latin America underlines the superiority of nationalist capitalist model of development, which has often been pursued more explicitly in Asia, over that of a dependent capitalist model, which has often been pursued in Latin America. In comparison to Latin American, teh Asian model has facilitaded higher and less volatile rates of economic growth and greater political room to pursue social democratic policies. The "tao root" of these alternate parthways is relative autonomy from global constraints: states and economies in Asia have been more nationalist and autonomous than in Latin America.
