Can Asians Think?
Can Asians Think?

Challenging Western perspectives with Asian insight.

If you're looking to step outside the familiar Western viewpoint and understand a bit more about Asian perspectives, "Can Asians Think?" will offer you that chance. Kishore Mahbubani delivers a stirring critique of Western triumphalism and invites readers, whether from the East or West, to engage with provocative questions and alternative ideas concerning geopolitics, culture, and intellectual diversity. It's a powerful read for anyone interested in global thinking and cultural introspection.
