If there�� one thing which stands out about the West since 2008, it�� this: There�� been almost no substantive economic reform. There�� been a lot of money printed, talking up of prospects (forward guidance in central banker parlance), huge subsidies to save certain sectors, but little restructuring of economies to put them on a more sustainable footing. Where the financial crisis showed the dangers of relying on ever-expanding debt to fund consumption, that reliance has only increased since.
Asia isn�� immune from criticism on the reform front either. Much of the region has been busy congratulating itself for avoiding the worst of 2008, while ignoring the growing problems at home. China has fallen into the western-style trap of relying on more debt to produce enough economic growth to ward off a serious downturn. India�� in trouble after backtracking on the broad-ranging reforms of the early 1990s which fueled an average 6% GDP growth over the past two decades. Meanwhile, Indonesia��onsidered the rising star of Asian economies only a short time ago��as slowed quickly after keeping interest rates too low for too long and failing to sufficiently cut spending on the likes of energy subsidies.
