Diana S. Kwan is currently community placements administrator at the Faculty of Medical Sciences, University College London. Fu-Lai Tony Yu was former adjunct professor at the Department of Land Management, Feng Chia University, and emeritus professor at Hong Kong Shue Yan University.
“Based on the comparative culture study and historical experiences, Kwan and Yu throw fresh light on the root cause of global conflicts between the East and the West by dissecting wide-ranging and timely issues, including the COVID-19 and the fentanyl crisis, wolf warrior diplomacy, entrepreneurial tendency, Hong Kong’s transformation, and so on. An intriguing read!” —Ho-Don Yan, Feng Chia University (Tai-wan), and Chiang Mai University, Thailand “Diana Kwan and Tony Yu have provided an excellent study on the cultural differences between East Asia and the West, utilizing a theoretical framework influenced by the Austrian school of economics and evolutionary economics, with an emphasis on learning and uncertainty. That such an approach has been applied to the non Western context of Asia, to elucidate a topic of such great importance today, is an achievement in its own right. I highly recommend this book.” —Dr. Bryan Cheang, Director of Hayek Program at the London School of Economics, King’s College London, UK
