Thailand's Boom and Bust: Revised Edition

Completely revised since its first publication in 1996, this book is about the transformation of a country over one roller-coaster decade. It is about the econoics of boom and bust, but also about politics, social changes, and popular culture. "Digs much deeper than the superficial analyses of business trends . . . to explain how a whole society is being transformed by an industrial revolution of unprecedented speed." -Financial Times of London
