Abstract
A miracle is an extraordinary event that happens in defiance of all expectations. For decades after the developmental miracle first occurred in East Asia, scholars and pundits have debated the origins of this miracle; and for decades after the Asian financial crisis, they will debate how this wonder came to a crashing end. Just as there is no definitive scholarly consensus on the origins, there is also likely to be little consensus on the end.
