Korean Crisis: Unraveling of the Miracle in the IMF Era

Rating:
Summary: A Journalistic Account of the Korean Financial Crisis
Review: Don Kirk is a newspaper reporter for the International Herald Tribune based in Seoul. He had previously written a book on Hyundai. This book is a journalistic account of the financial crisis that swept South Korea in 1997-98. Its strong points are lots of vivid quotes and anecdotes. Its weakness is a lack of overall analytical framework. In essence, it updates Mark Clifford's "Troubled Tiger" to the late 1990s. Readers interested in a more systematic analysis of the crisis should see Marcus Noland "Avoiding the Apocalypse."

Review: I am working in country risk assessment section in the Bank. I have been in charge of South Korea, Thailand, Vietnam, etc. We always get in contact with IMF staff and collabolate the task for international coordination. To this end, I put a great deal emphasis on that this book must be resourceful for my job!
