Abstract
Series recounts how countries like South Korea, Thailand, Malaysia, Hong Kong and Singapore responded to the financial crisis in 1997, how they weather the economic storm of 1997, and the ardous journey of recovery that each country take to get the economy back on track and establish new economic niches. "It was the world's 11th largest economy, and recently admitted into the exclusive league of industralised nations. But by the end of 1997, South Korea was on the brink of default - requiring the largest bailout in the history of the IMF and the World Bank. How did South Korea go from boom to bust in a decade? How does its tripartite relationship between government, Chaebols and labour unions affect the unfolding of the crisis? And how did its people muster the Korean spirit of "uri-ism" (togetherness) to ride out the crisis? We travel to Seoul to discover the factors behind the city's dramatic recovery, and its people's take on how Seoul righted the wrongs in their economy and society."
