"When I lived in Thailand, everybody talked about the "Asian contagion" economic crisis of the 90's, but I actually knew something about it, because I read this book. Of course, none of the ignorant people were actually impressed with my knowledge, but that's not the book's fault. In any case, read this book and be educated about the experts who were supposed to be safeguarding the world economy but turned out to be part of the problem. Excellent journalism."
