...September, 2008. Hong Kong's foreign reserves have shot up by nearly 40% over the same period. Economists point out that this new pile-up of dollars will do little to reerse a dangerous pattern of global savings and spending, wherein Asians control much of the world's cash and allow Americnas to recklessly spend...
