by Deirdre de Burca. Andrew Sheng, who heads up a new global think tank called the Fung Global Institute, made an excellent presentation to the Institute of European Affairs yesterday. He was invited to speak about an Asian perspective on fixing the global crisis by Patrick Honohan, the Governor of the Irish Central Bank. Attached is a PDF version of the slides that accompanied Sheng’s presentation.

Dr Sheng’s prognosis and his proposed Asian solution to the GFC are easy to understand and undoubtedly difficult to implement. Let’s hope the world will be a better place as we all live as one.
