Pop Goes The Emerging
Market Bubble
Washington Post essay explores if we may be on the cusp of the next economic crisis, with the latest warnings from Brazil & India whose currencies are under attack .. "If the assaults spread to most emerging-market and developing countries, which represent about half the world economy, the effect on the fragile global recovery could be devastating. That's the bad news; the good news is that — for the moment — this is widely regarded as a long shot .. Every major financial crisis of the past 20 years has begun with some relatively minor event whose significance seemed isolated: weakness of the Thai baht in the summer of 1997; trouble in the market for 'subprime' U.S. mortgages in 2007; Greece's misreporting of its budget deficit in 2009. Could this be 'deja vu all over again'?"
