Description

The deep currency crisis which erupted in the beginning of July 1997 among
the rapidly growing economies of Southeast Asia raises the question: "Have
the rapid rates of growth in the late 1980s and early 1990s mortgaged the
economic futures of these economies?" This book examines the economic bases
for the crisis and characterizes the nature of the policy weaknesses that
led to the crisis. Drawing on the specific features of the crises in
Thailand, Korea, and Indonesia and the pattern of contagion in the region,
this Updated Edition suggests a list of global policy lessons that can be
distilled from Asia's crisis.
