This book dismantles conventional political and economic thinking
to explore the Asian Economic Miracle as an outcome of the traumas
of postcolonial economic development. This book argues that these
unconscious anxieties underpin the postcolonial and neoliberal
political economy, producing a particular libidinal economy that is
fixated on the maintenance of dignity and the avoidance of
humiliation. Through the cases of Singapore and Malaysia, a
psychoanalytic perspective provides new insights into racialized
and masculine unconscious anxieties around survival, dignity and
humiliation. Sioh traces the development of the postcolonial state,
charting the shift from social power being rooted in military to
economic success. The complex relationship between the political
economy of neoliberal austerity and psychic humiliation is
explored, and the ways in which East Asian economic decision-making
has served not just as an economic, but a cultural battleground, to
define development and underdevelopment.
