Book excerpt: In the context of Asia, household economics are particularly significant due to the belief that Asian culture, with its emphasis on family values, plays a central role in economic development. This book examines the relationship between household economics, the family and the emergence of strong Asian economies from a socioeconomic perspective. Characteristics of Asian economies excluded from traditional models are analysed, thereby constructing new models which incorporate modified assumptions consistent with Asian families and economies.
