520 1 $a"In 1997, the "Asian Economic Miracle," thirty years of rapid growth and low inflation, ended abruptly with runs on Southeast Asian currencies and a massive flight of capital, precipitating deep economic recessions. Meanwhile, the countries of Southeast Europe had been struggling to reconstruct market economies out of the shreds left by socialist economies.
520 8 $aBoth regions had been urged by international organizations to adopt a package of policies, often called the Washington Consensus, of deregulation, privatization, trade liberalization, and free-flowing capital. Did the crisis in Southeast Asia, and related crises in Russia and Latin America, call into question the Washington Consensus?"--BOOK JACKET.
520 8 $a"To address that issue and study creation of sustained growth, the Woodrow Wilson Center convened a conference to examine these two regions. Participants included officials from international financial institutions, national banks from the regions and the United States, as well as economists, historians, and researchers."--BOOK JACKET.
