Contrary to the prevailing view in the West that the 500-year dominance of Western civilization points to it being the only universal civilization, Can Asians Think? argues that other civilizations may yet make equal contributions to the development and growth of mankind. Hailed as "an Asian Toynbee" and "the Max Weber of the new Confucian ethic", Mahbubani continues to illuminate his central arguments with new essays in this fourth edition.

This commemorative edition of Can Asians Think? celebrates the long-running success of the publication over two decades, and the continued relevance of the author’s thought-provoking essays. This edition comprises of 18 essays selected by the author from those published over the past 20 years and additional new essays and includes a new Introduction and Postscript comments by the author on what he foresees for Asia in the years ahead.
