"Treasury Secretary Rubin discusses some of the "flash points" that could have taken the world over the edge. He was on vacation, he recalls, and spent much of it on the phone jawboning bankers into rolling over their loans in Korea. "What's happened in the global financial markets...has brought tremendous benefit to economies around the world, clearly to our own economy. But... it's all become tied together in the sense that investors in Russia are also investors all over the world..." says Rubin, noting that when there is trouble in one country's economy it spills over into other countries. "The American economy has become a part... of a global economy. And I think that's been very much to our benefit... in terms of job growth and standard of living. However, it also carries with it risks." what am I missing in SE Asia,Indonesia,Brazil etc and the 41 million americans without health insurance and the highest number of people in prisons
