In a little more than a year, the Asian financial crisis became a global financial crisis, with the crash of Russia s ruble and Brazil s real.

In the intervening years, particularly after the Asian Financial Crisis, the pro market, anti intervention Washington Consensus fell out of favor.

Indeed, what the West calls the Asian financial crisis is known in Asia as the IMF crisis.
