"The classic question of how the economic transforms the social is at the heart of Lan Anh Hoang and Cheryll Alipio’s new volume, focusing on money and morality in the context of some of Asia’s tiger and newly industrialized economies. […] Overall the volume achieves its goal of delving "deep into the economic, political, social and religious developments and dynamics engendered by the moneyed transactions and moral transformations arising from neoliberal globalization" (273). The range of case studies across topics and locales are carefully analyzed and offer fascinating insights."- Ivan V. Small, Asian Journal of Social Science, 49 (2021)
