Recommendation

Yale University adjunct professor David F. DeRosa argues that markets are smarter than government ministries. Therefore, he contends, economic development should be left to the free market, since tighter regulations will only distort development. His detailed analysis of economic conditions focuses on factors leading to several crises, including the decline of the Mexican and Japanese economies in the 1990s and the Southeast Asian collapse of 1997. The subject is complicated and interesting, and the writing is often technical and sometimes complex.getAbstract calls this book to the attention of scholars, executives and managers who have a serious interest in fiscal policy. And we do mean serious.

Take-Aways

  • Economic crises ravaged Mexico, the European Community and much of Southeast Asia during the 1990s.
  • After three decades of high growth, Japan’s economy declined in the ’90s.
  • The worst financial crises of the decade occurred in countries with fixed exchange rates.
