EIR Economics Editor John Hoefle takes you through the tumultuous period of what then was called the "Asian Financial Crisis" but which IMF head Michelle Camdeseus admitted was the near meltdown of the entire global financial system. What was most notable at the time was the actions taken by Maylasian PM Mathathir in implementing currency controls which protected his country versus the other countries which went through a severe crisis. As the Asian Wall Street Journal admitted, Mr. Mahatir listened to Lyndon LaRouche. EIR contributors Gail Billington and Jeff Steinberg contribute "news segment" type reports and then you get to listen to the unhinged babbling of financial guru's Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan, Clinton Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin, and two officials from the International Monetary Fund. John Hoefle intersperses statements by Lyndon LaRouche in comparison with the so-called "experts".
