Question: How did Thailand's financial problems in 1997 start? Why/how did it spread? How did the U.S. government get drawn into it? How did it end?

  • How did Thailand's financial problems in 1997 start? Why/how did it spread? How did the U.S. government get drawn into it? How did it end?
  • How did the U.S. response to Thailand's crisis differ from its response to Mexico ten years prior? Do you think we should have helped Thailand the same way we helped Mexico? Why or why not? What could be a new policy on when the U.S. should financially help a country and when it should not, what would the broad outlines of that policy look like? That is, under what circumstances do we say "yes," and under what circumstances do we say "no"?
