Remember that the GDP statistics of Asian countries are handicapped because of their tendency to save. This is the opposite of the West, where people not only spend every dollar they have the second they get it, but borrow even more money on top of that.When the dust finally settles from the global financial crisis, we're going to have a clearer picture of which countries were fraudulently wealthy. America, I'm looking at you. Ireland is another prime candidate I hate to say.
