Asian Storm: The Economic Crisis Examined

In the wake of the crash of East Asia's economy, it is time for a frank discussion of the strategy for correcting the flaws in policy and infrastructure that undercut Asia's economic engine and for rebuilding its financial resources. Here, in absorbing detail, is an analysis not only of what went wrong and how it affected Japan and the other economies of new Asia, but how they can recover and become strong again. Philippe Ries, the economic and political correspondent for Agence France-Presse stationed in Tokyo, brings his singular expertise to a subject which continues to fascinate economists and business people worldwide.
