Trying to locate Teruo Amemiya

I'm trying to locate Teruo Amemiya to send him some material he requested from me. His e-mail seems to have changed. Can anyone help? Either a snail-mail or an e-mail co-ordinate would do Alan

Re: currency fundamentals

Doug, I did not say that either the rupiah or any of them would return to some earlier value. I said they are undervalued which suggests that they are likely to go up in value, sooner or later. Who knows how far, however (well, with floating exchange rates it never ends anyway)? Barkley

currency fundamentals

Energy Tribes

One of the crowning ironies of the history of this racist, capitalist country is that Indian reservations today hold enormous quantities of coal, oil, gas and uranium. If the 19th century architects of genocide had been able to predict this startling outcome, they probably would have simply killed

Wave of Mergers Recasts the Face of Business

Somethin' from today's _NYT_. I like how the bourgeois press diagnoses that merger mania could come to a close only if there is a global recession, as opposed to the view that merger mania is a crisis-driven response to looming global recession. John Gulick January 19, 1998 Wave of Mergers Reca

Re: Korean Unions Preparing Strikes; Selloff of Korea, Inc.

Korea continues to present a threat to the bailout in the form of the workers' movement. If they don't buy into it, the IMF bailout could go down the tubes. Also, the opening of ROK capital markets was partly so it could get into the OECD. What a reward they have gotten! Barkley Ros

Energy Tribes

Comment: This piece was simply very well done and to the point. Under the old formulae of Reagan/Bush, the oil-holding Tribes were ripped off for over $5 billion through systematic and calculated under- valuation of oil and mineral assets. Add another $3 to $5 billion of BIA accounts suddenly "
