Currency Meltdown in Southeast Asia: Global Capital as the New 800 Pound Gorilla
The story of East Asian miracle economies now appears to have been one part illusion and
another part momentary bingeing that involved massive mobilization of inputs that contributed
to unsustainable growth spurts. Those who detected a new form of capitalism in Japan's development model or in that of its East Asian protégés will be disappointed to find that there is nothing new under even the rising sun
The Institutional Basis of East Asia's Economic Crises
Restructuring and modernization of basic political institutions is the crucial key for longterm
recovery of East Asia's crisis economies. These steps are necessary to restore confidence
and allow for their economies to stabilize as the first step towards recovery. Then they must recapture or reengineer their respective competitive positions in the global economy. Long-term
competitiveness will require gains in overall productivity embodied in advanced technical systems and greater investments in human capital. Unfortunately, East Asia is lagging in these
areas. High prestige projects have given a false impression of widespread adoption of new technology that has actually been quite low for most of the region

Is the East no Longer Red? China's Erratic Flirtations with Markets
The assumption of control of the levers of power by Deng Xiaoping and the implementation of ecommtic reform in China hays yet to plan out to a logical end. Despite optimistic and bullish evaluations of the future prospects for China's economic future, there are numerous uncertainties which should be assessed. The first area of concern is that the reported estimates of economic growth are high1v misleading. In light of this observation, the rush to invest in China may be premature and may involve a speculative bubble which is both a cause and an effect of inflows of Western capital. Also, there are likely to he dimmer prospects for profitability of foreign investments in China.
Several other issues are also addressed here. Claims for the successes of China's gradualist market reform also invite scepticism. Additionally, the impact of Confucianism and the continuing role of the Chinese bureaucracy in the development of markets is considered. A final and over-riding issue considered is the conditions for consequences of the fractious pressures on China which threatens the hegemonic integrity of the ruling Party
