66. The Japanese title was generally translated as The Asia That Can Say No: A Policy to Combat Europe and America; however, the English language version, which was published in 1995, is more diplomatically entitled The Voice of Asia: Two Leaders Discuss the Coming Century, although the actual content was as unrestrained as the earlier Japanese edition. See M Mahathir & S Ishihara, The Voice of Asia: Two Leaders Discuss the Coming Century, Tokyo: Kodansha International, 1995. Ishihara is well known in the English-speaking world for an earlier book, The Japan That Can Say No. Ishihara's understanding of US-Japanese relations, and international political economy more generally, rests on racial categories which see the USA as a 'Caucasian' power and the friction between the USA and Japan as flowing primarily from the way in which 'racist attitudes are deeply entrenched in the Caucasian psyche and no matter how much non-whites object, Westerners will not soon shed their prejudices'. Apart from sharing Mahathir's view of history as a struggle between races, Ishihara's earlier book also foreshadowed Mahathir's concern to establish an EAEC insofar as he noted that Japan 'must be part of Asia's future' because 'as the Age of the Pacific dawns, the region will be even more vital to Japan's maturity than the United States' and Japan 'must, when matters of crucial national interest warrant, articulate our position and say no to the United States'.

69. From the moment he became Prime Minister, if not before, Mahathir has articulated a racialised anti-Western position, establishing himself as the voice, not just of Malaysia, but of 'Asia' and the Third World'. B T Khoo, Paradoxes of Mahathirism: An Intellectual Biography of Mahathir Mohamad, Kuala Lumpur: Oxford University Press, 1995, p 332. Mahathir's views have long rested on the fixed cultural/racial categories which flow from the highly racialised politics of the colonial and post-colonial era. See

Before the crisis the World Bank anticipated that the total number of people living in poverty in Asia, would only drop from the 805 million which it recorded for 1985 to 435 million by the beginning of the twenty-first century (and it should be emphasised that the World Bank defines anyone receiving more than 2150 calories a day as living above the poverty-line).

132. Between the end of the 1950s and the beginning of the 1990s the wealthiest 20% of the world's population expanded their percentage of overall global wealth from 70% to 85%. Over the same period the figure for the poorest 20% of the population went from 2.3% to 1.4%. As of 1991 over 85% of the people in the world received a mere 15% of global income. More dramatically still, the combined income of the 358 richest individuals was equal to that of the poorest 2.3 billion people in the world.
