Abstract
In my thesis, I am looking at the possible causes of the 1997 Thai financial crisis, which started the Asian economic crisis. Economists disagree on which parties are to blame for causing the economic crisis. This thesis reviews the possible explanations and seeks to corroborate them by the historical evidence. Upon examination, the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank laid the foundation for the Thai financial crisis while the other parties involved, speculators, the Thai government, and Thai businessmen further worsened the crisis. This research highlights the importance of continuing to study economic issues of the past to avoid making the same mistakes in the future.
