Review 'Offering a surprisingly thorough and accurate diagnosis of where the Asian economy stands, this book is mandatory reading for everyone who wants to gain a clear understanding of the Asian economy. Particularly outstanding is the critical evaluation of restructuring and corporate governance reforms currently under way in major Asian countries, including Korea, Japan and China.' - Nam-Kee Lee, Chairman, Fair Trade Commission, Republic of Korea 'Now that East Asia has recovered, mostly, from the 1997 financial crisis, it faces the threat of a repeat performance. If the worst does recur, it will be because government and business ignored the advice of Asian Post-Crisis Management, a collection of cogent studies about the causes and prevention of economic meltdown. The book is useful reading for anyone who cares about the region: especially for those with a stake in its economic future.' - Robert Keatley, Editor, South China Morning Post, Hong Kong, SAR 'This book is loaded with profound analysis and deep insight on what actually happened during the recent Asian financial crisis and vividly demonstrates how the affected countries are strategically reshaping their economies.
