Foreign Markets and the U.S. Economy

With four out of five wide-bodies leaving the U.S. carrying cargo to the Pacific Rim, America is inextricably tied to Asian economies. Complicating this is the ability of investors to nimbly outmaneuver politicians by moving large sums of money across borders with a simple click of the mouse. In this program, ABC News anchor Ted Koppel and correspondent David Turecamo assess the prognosis of an ailing Korea as it recovers from its bout of the "Asian flu," undergoing transfusions of capital from Salomon Smith Barney and the IMF. As Korea and other Pac Rim nations turn their backs on traditional political red tape and agree to do business the Wall Street way, will corporate self-interest eventually overpower Washington in matters of international relations?
