July 23, 1997 FDR PAC forum in Washington DC. Proving again why he puts all other so called "economists" in the dust, Mr. LaRouche in a public speech forecasts the doom of the then over hyped Asian Tigers which was the front end later of the beginning of the near total meltdown of the global financial system as later admitted by the then head of the International Monetary Fund. Mr. LaRouche then goes into the science of physical economics with the pedagogy of Relative Potential Population Density during the last couple thousand years, what education needs to be for a modern science oriented industrial nation, the machine tool principle, science and technological progress, and his policy of the Eurasian Landbridge and the global landbridge.
