几个世纪前，欧洲民众沸腾的消费热情像狂风一样卷走了生产线上源源不断的产品，古老文明的车轮在资本的带动下发出势不可当的低吼，资本主义的曙光照耀在欧洲大地上，朝阳在地平线上缓缓升起~
几个世纪后，亚洲经济飞速发展紧随其后，我们不费脑子地呼唤着西方经济发展模式快到碗里来，可是，成功经验真的就是黄金定律吗？亚洲经济发展有没有亚洲模式呢？
清华x-lab 北极光创新系列讲座、清华经管学院《社会创新与创业》课程第八讲，为你邀请到了国际著名社会活动家、联合国和世界经济论坛演讲嘉宾程子俊先生（Mr. Chandran Nair）带来“亚洲的世纪：低价资源时代的终结”的精彩报告。
作为《社会创新与创业》课程的特邀嘉宾，程子俊先生的主要观点是由于社会、经济、环境、资源等等“外部成本”的限制，西方通过消费拉动内需的经济增长模式无法在亚洲复制。他提出了关注大众基本需求（食物、水资源与卫生、住房、低碳、医疗保障和教育等）的可持续发展模式。
如果你心怀兼济天下之志，试图通过社会创新与创业解决这些令人头疼的问题，那么还等什么~

“TheAsian Century – End of the Free Ride”
TheWestern model of consumption-led economic growth cannot be replicated in Asia,according to Chandran Nair. He argues that 6 billion Asians in 2050 cannot andshould not aspire to live like the West. Instead, Mr. Nair offers analternative paradigm for governments, business leaders, and academics toconsider. He argues that economic policy needs to be realigned; to avoid thecatastrophic outcomes that could result from the relentless promotion of aconsumption-led growth model in Asia, at a time when resource constraints areonly too apparent.
Atthe heart of his views is the search for new business models which do notthrive on underpricing resources and externalizing costs but are insteadfocused on the need to spread prosperity by meeting the basic needs of themajority. These will be in critical areas such as food (safe, secure), waterand sanitation, affordable housing, access to low carbon energy, basichealthcare and education.
Chandranstrongly advocates a more sustainable approach to development in Asia, advisinggovernments and multi-national corporations to instill these principles intotheir policies and key decision making processes. Chandran is a regular speakerat global forums including World Economic Forum, where he is a member of theGlobal Agenda Council on Governance for Sustainability, APEC Summits and OECDevents.
