Interpretation? The perception that, in the aggregate,financial instruments are less sound; following, e.g., thecollapse of a bubble, corporate governance problems,loss of intermediation capital, decline in property rightsprotection, increased perception of ‘crony capitalism’....(factors present in Asian/Russian crises)
