The Danger - China Unscathed or the Next Crisis?  aVeteran Asia-watcher Callum Henderson - Standard & Poor's senior authority on the Asian currency market and one of the few insiders to counsel caution during the heady boom days - delivers a first-hand examination of the political and economic events  that led to Asia's currency crisis. Written with clarity and objectivity, and supported by fact-filled case studies of Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Malaysia, this book goes beyond the hyperbole and the punditry to give investors an in-depth, country-by-country analysis of the crisis, and forecast the economic effects on the region; provide policy-level political analysis on governmental actions and reactions that led to Asia's ongoing currency crisis; and outline specific opportunities resulting from the Asian currency crisis and its consequent economic impact. 0aForeign exchange rateszAsia. 0aAsiaxEconomic conditions.  aASEAN  aAsia  aAsian financial crisis  aEconomic conditions  aExchange rates  aForeign exchange markets  aInternational Monetary Fund  aMacroeconomic policy  aOverseas item
