Which Asian nations are you thinking of? Because China is full of people wanting to make as big a pile of money as possible, as quickly as they can.

As someone whose lived in a few Asian countries, I've seen no lack of this attitude to make money fast.

The collectivist mindset is more around top down direction. They'll happily throw trash on the street, but if someone threatens to fine them for doing it, they'll stop and not complain.

I'm thinking of Japan and Korea. I don't know enough about other Asian nations to proffer much of a valid opinion, although some (like China) have very powerful governments that can force societal change (if they want). This can be either good, or bad.

Stereotypically we were often told how Taiwan and Japan weathered early COVID better due to such collectivist attitudes.
