In this special episode, listen to the first episode of CSIS’s newest podcast, Echonomics that investigates how past economic events in Asia continue to impact U.S. policy today.
In 1997, Thailand’s currency collapsed, setting off a currency contagion that spread across Asia and threatened to take down several economies with it. Thitinan Pongsudhirak, Siwage Dharma Negara, Caroline Atkinson, and Paul Blustein discuss the origins of the crisis and the impact it had on markets across the region.
