德怀特·珀金斯教授（Professor Dwight H On the unfavorable side, the Confucian desire to look backward toward some early ideal state led to conservative views that held China and others back from making changes required for economic development This aumulation of human capital can also be seen as a quasi-capitalist development Thus, Confucianism may have caused China's development to lag at specific periods in history, but at other times it has also contributed to China's development Overall I would say Buddhism and Daoism had little influence favorable or unfavorable on East Asia’s modern economic development Although they formed a degree of intellectual confinement for the Chinese, various forms of the economy were prevalent even in the temples The one inplete ponent of the transition was the continued central role played by state owned enterprises The transition has been suessful as it has led to an increase in China's economic strength, cultural strength and other national strengths
龚鹏程教授：您现在看，东亚增长的基本来源有什么变化吗？法律机构在东亚经济增长中的作用又如何？
德怀特·珀金斯教授：东亚大部分地区的法律机构普遍薄弱和不发达，这是阻碍该地区充分发挥其潜力的一个障碍。 新加坡和香港是个例外，至少在商业领域，法律制度是相当强大的。 在越南，党可以推翻正式的法律制度，这是一个严重的弱点。 印度尼西亚和柬埔寨的法律体系因其他原因而薄弱，这导致了大量腐败和其他问题
Legal institutions in much of East Asia are generally weak and underdeveloped and this is a barrier to the region reaching its full potential The fact that the Party can overrule the formal legal system in Vietnam is a serious weakness
龚鹏程教授：您怎么看印度尼西亚？
德怀特·珀金斯教授：从20世纪70年代末到90年代初，印度尼西亚有一个有效的发展战略，导致了不依赖自然资源出口和高自然资源价格的稳定增长。经济领导层保持汇率不被高估，并取消了对工业的过度进口替代法规，使工业部门有可能快速增长。然而，在20世纪90年代末，腐败变得猖獗，导致印度尼西亚在1997-1998年的金融危机中遭受损失。随后的政府又回到了对自然资源出口的依赖，工业发展和工业出口受到影响。然而，在最近几年，政府作出了重大努力，来增强经济中严重欠发达的基础设施。
Indonesia from the late 1970s through to the early 1990s had an effective development strategy that led to steady growth that was not dependent on natural resource exports and high natural resource prices In the late 1990s, however, corruption bee rampant contributing to Indonesia’s suffering from the financial crisis on 1997-1998 In the most recent years, however, the government has made major efforts to strengthen the seriously underdeveloped infrastructure of the economy.
