DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT ON FINANCIAL CRISIS IN KOREA AND IMF
"In December 1997, Korea went into serious economy crisis and went to seek a bailout from the International Monetary Fund (IMF). The Korean currency crisis is known popularly as the I.M.F. crisis because the local currency once tumbled to 2,000 won against the U.S. dollar. The danger of economic collapse forced South Korea to swallow a tough bailout package from the International Monetary Fund that closed big banks and industrial companies, led legions of workers to be laid off and prompted citizens to donate their gold to the national treasury. But South Korea was able to bounce back and resume the soaring growth rates that have enabled its gross domestic product to double since 1998, catapulting South Korea into the ranks of the world’s wealthiest nations".(Martin Fackler.( Jan. 6, 2011).

Therefore the best way to solve the negative impact on bailout role they play in the world economy is to readjust the policies that create crisis to countries seeking their assistance in the first place. The IMF should concentrates on being a fund provider to countries in need, not to be the dictator of the fiscal and monetary policies. it is now the responsibility of governments of each country to determine or examine the regulatory that he would imposed on his financial institutions in order to limit the risk of financial crisis."These governments will have incentive to do this if their access to international capital from other countries is tied to their maintenance of responsible fiscal policy”.

“If you want to understand geology, study earthquakes. If you want to understand the economy, study the Depression” (Ben Bernanke Quotes). Ben Bernanke, a tenured professor at Princeton University, served two terms as the Federal Reserve chairman from 2006-2014 and orchestrated the Fed’s actions during the Great Recession. Being a student of the Great Depression, Mr. Bernanke’s policies and regulations surrounding the late 2000’s crisis reflected the adaptations to the Fed’s failed actions in the 1930’s. Throughout economic history, the stability and health of our economy depends on the balance achieved by the Federal Reserve over their three major roles: Monetary Policy, Regulation, Lender of Last Resort.

While some have been slightly improving, taken as a whole, Latin America is in a slump. Some of the viewpoints attributed this to the extremely interventionist policies instituted by the International Monetary Fund (IMF). The International Monetary Fund, according to the speakers, gives a large sum of money to these struggling countries and in return institutes standard policies that are not always successful. One source described it as an “experiment where they’ve forced these countries to implement tight fiscal policies and open trade and monetary policies regardless of what was happening on the ground, and it has failed” (21-22). However, officials from the International Monetary Fund dispute these claims, and assert that their policies have brought about positive change and growth.
The reader so far could gather that globalsim that globalism is a wide spread movement that began it grip on the nation predominately during the mid 20th century, but even to this very day globalism is on the offensive. Most modern day Americans are probably familiar with the Subprime Mortage crisis of ‘08 and for those who are not: in 2008 the U.S. economy’s real estate market suffered from a collapse due to Chase Bank unwarily handing out risky loans that would, realistical, be left unpaid due to people inability to require funds. Being the Federal Reserve’s job to maintain the economy the private bank is ultimately the cause of this economic crises. Before going into an explanation of the crisis one must understand that, through the words of Richard H. Timberlake (2008) “...a particular market instability can be contained only if Federal Reserve policy maintains monetary equilibrium, the principle it abandoned in 1929[The Gold Standard].” Timberlake also mentions in this text that market can, and sometimes, will return to the equilibrium.
Along the same line of thinking for protecting the freedoms of the people, the government creates and enforces the law of the market but should not directly participate in the game (Friedman, 1975). Intervention as a discrepancy from Friedman’s theory is understood as the Federal Reserve keeping interest rates low prior to the crisis. This will be discussed later in the
