Description

This is a unique insider account of the new world of unfettered finance. The author, an Asian regulator, examines how old mindsets, market fundamentalism, loose monetary policy, carry trade, lax supervision, greed, cronyism, and financial engineering caused both the Asian crisis of the late 1990s and the global crisis of 2008–2009. The book shows how the Japanese zero interest rate policy to fight deflation helped create the carry trade that generated bubbles in Asia, leading to economic downturns. The study aims to demonstrate the interconnected nature of global finance and the inadequacy of current tools and institutional structures to address crises. It explains how current financial policies and regulations fell short in dealing with a global bubble and provides recommendations for necessary changes.
