The latest insights on current economic issues with a main emphasis on
emerging East Asia, ASEAN and BRICs nations from a multi-awarded scholar
and economist is now available. A new book, Global
Economy In Turbulent Times, reflects a renowned Southeast Asia’s
economist Dr. See-Yan Lin’s personal views, observations and analysis of
the 21st century economic and financial problems that affect
the world. Published by Wiley in May 2015, the book puts together Dr.
Lin’s 125 byline articles which have been written and published since
2008. This unique adaptation from the hugely popular column in the
Malaysia Star newspaper offers succinct but clear explanations on why
the world has been so turbulent in the 21st century.
Dr. Lin's expertise in strategic and financial issues is renowned and he
is actively sought in the academic, economic, banking and business
realms. Global Economy In Turbulent Times is drawn upon his
true life experiences in the economic life of the world and,
particularly, in Asia. It is anchored by his professional life as an
economist and as a policy-maker of over 50 years in the government and
business sectors.
Global Economy In Turbulent Times features topics of public
interest that are often in response to the feedback and requests from
his column’s readership. It looks at the world economy, particularly
United States, Europe, Japan and the international monetary system;
discussing where has it gone wrong, the key issues underlying its
inadequacy and what can be done about it. With a focus on Asia, the book
outlines his personal views on global demography, the need for quality
education, and the emerging middle-class. The book concludes with the
Dr. Lin’s observations on corporate governance in Malaysia and his
thoughts on corporate social responsibility and management in general.
This book is for anyone who needs an accessible and credible reference
material to the main issues, from a Southeast Asian perspective, that
are involved in the financial world since the 2008 global financial
crisis.
Global Economy In Turbulent Times is now available at the
publisher’s website (www.wiley.com),
major bookstores and online retailers nationwide at the price of
US$49.95.
