Georgetown University Press claimed Lee Kuan Yew, Singapore´s first prime minister (from 1959 to1990), has been an international figure not only for establishing Singapore´s political and economic stability but also for fostering economic development throughout Asia. He is particularly renowned as a principle architect of the ´Asian values´ campaign of the 1990s, which sought to preserve the undemocratic traits of Asian culture while attending to the demands of a capitalist economy operating globally. A critical examination of Lee´s life, career, and ideas, this is the first book to analyze the origins and substance of Lee´s political thought. Augmenting established primary sources with his own interviews and correspondence with Lee´s old associates, Barr shows how Lee has been influenced by British and Chinese racism and elitism, western progressivism, and even the cultural evolutionism of Arnold Toynbee. This reassessment of Lee´s achievements and worldview sheds new light on a key figure on the world stage.
