Fast and shared growth in East Asia was ascribed to strong states and their peculiar institutional arrangements, free-market policies, and Asian values, respectively. This paper provides a critical overview of these rival accounts focusing on their arguments for the miracle, and on post-crisis retrenchement. As paradigms mellowed down, a rapprochement emerged between the state-centric approach and the neoliberal one. Since no paradigm yields a comprehensive explanation of these economies’ trajectory, an eclectic approach is deemed the best alternative to date.
