Yet the event would trigger a financial earthquake to shake a continentz In just over a year, the once wondrous Asian economy would lie in ruins. Today the aftershocks ripple from Sao Paolo to the Silicon Valley. How could a region that had been the most dynamic growth zone for a decade self-destruct seemingly overnight? Senior specialists at Business Week who have covered Asia's economy from boom to bust to the wrenching aftermath, Mark Clifford and Pete Engardio vividly tell the story of this debacle. Drawing on interviews with the region's leading politicians, industrialists, and technocrats, the authors explore the causes and implications of the most severe financial collapse since the Great Depression.

Meltdown confronts these critical questions and more for compelling reading. Very good in very good dust jacket. Signed by author. Inscription signed by Engardio. DJ has minor edge wear.…
