Mastering the Infinite game Why is the West so frightened of Asia? Here are the facts: The economies of Asia continue to grow at bewildering speed with Singapore now overtaking the USA in GDP per person. China is growing faster than any capitalist country has ever grown since measurement began. Japan’s GDP at $40.000 per person is now a third larger than the US’s $28,000. Why do these economies continue to generate such extraordinary wealth? Mastering the Infinite Game is a unique exploration of the social, cultural and economic differences between East and West. It goes beyond the usual studies of Eastern management to look at the underpinning philosophies and argues that western corporations play to win (a finite game) while the Tiger economies play to learn (an infinite game).
