'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
