Asian Currency Crisis - Thryft

Insightful analysis of Southeast Asia's financial collapse.

Gerald Tan's detailed account breaks down complex economic phenomena into a format that's engaging for both experts and casual readers. With his analysis, you'll get more than just the "what" of the 1997 crisis—you'll understand the "how" and "why," which can be eye-opening if you're curious about the fragility and interconnectedness of world economies.
