Responsible Development: Vulnerable Democracies, Hunger and Inequality

By Omar Noman

Book Overview

This book focuses on the economic collapse of 1997, and the effect on the status of East Asia as an economic power. Noman looks at how currency depreciations, personal and state indebtedness, mass unemployment and rioting brought the paternalistic capitalist phase to an end in Asia, and analyzes Asia's complex recovery and future challenges.
