THE GLOBAL ECONOMIC CRISIS:
Where do we go from here?
Malcolm Fraser
1988 14pp RM4.50/US$2.50 ISBN 967-947-063-6
The facts speak for themselves. With 32
million unemployed in the OECD countries alone, wild
currency fluctuations, trade frictions between the US and
Japan, and Japan and the EC, debt problems and historically
low commodity prices, there is no doubt that the world is
facing an economic crisis. What has gone wrong? To answer
this, former Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Fraser traces
world history from post-World War II days to the present to
find the causes before he postulates the possible triggers
that could lead to a breakdown of the system.

Commonwealth Secretary-General Sir
Shridath S Ramphal explains why the Commonwealth is in the

Africa.
