The Trouble with Tigers by Victor Mallet
Most of the countries of south-east Asia, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, the Philippines, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, Brunei and Burma, though extremely diverse in their cultures and political systems, have two things in common: up to 1997, they had been enjoying extraordinary economic growth; after 1997, their economies have crashed. After years of growth rates that Western politicians would die for, things have started going badly wrong for the countries of south-east Asia. Victor Mallet's book uses interviews with politicians and drug addicts, environmentalists and warlords, prostitutes, peasant farmers and captains of industry. It examines in detail the miracle that turned sour.
Victor Mallet is South Africa correspondent for the Financial Times. Prior to that he was deputy Features Editor and South-East Asia correspondent for that newspaper. In 1990, as Middle East correspondent for Reuters, he was the only western journalist in Kuwait City when the Iraqis invaded.
