Hi,

I have been following the crisis in debt repayment and currency
devaluation occuring in the "Asian Tiger" countries and others with
great interest mainly via Nat'l Public Radio. I would like to hear from
anyone who is analyzing this situation--its implications for
world-system theory (vindication), implications for global spread of
recession, and for free-market export-led development theory. I'd like
to correspond; I'd like information and analysis source references, both
popular articles and research; and/or suggestions of researchers whose
work I should check. I will return to this subject once I get a hang of
how this list-serv is running. Thanks for your time.
