...Mahathir?s plan is easy to dismiss as the folly of an economically inept autocrat. But by going through with it, Mahathir has drawn a line in the sand: It?s him against the barbarians. And in this age where economic and political ideology have become inextricably entwined, the stakes are high. Mahathir evidently dreams of an Asia resurgent on its own terms, reborn in its own image, not that of the West.

Whatever you recover is better than nothing, and it won't cost you a cent to collect. The tricks are staying informed so that you know when to file a claim and being able to lay your hands on the needed documents when judgment day finally arrives. If you were pummeled in any of the recent debacles--recall the collapse of HMO company Oxford...
