Nice Example for New Economy Tragedy

We have studied about free trade and free flow of money. Theory said it would create more benefits to consumers and countries. But what would happen if it is used in a wrong way. People say Thailand has everything US or Japan has, but she still doesn't develop. This book will provide you a nice example about the starting of crisis in Thailand which expanded to other countries in South East Asia. Explain to you step by step and also show many ideas and opinions about the crisis. Nice Work
