Asia's Export Engine Is Already Firing

摘要

Yes, the Asian crisis may get worse before it gets better, but the seeds for a recovery are already planted. Beneath the daily stream of negative headlines, powerful corrective forces are quietly at work to reverse the current trend. The best place to see these forces in motion is in real life rather than in macroec-onomic data—even at the risk of arraignment for the crime of being "anecdotal." This is why it is useful every so often to forget about economists and central bankers, and spend time instead with shippers and freight forwarders.
