Who’s to blame for this economic crisis? It’s an important question for governments in Cairo, Islamabad, and Manila: as I wrote last week, they face the challenge of finding jobs for the rising number of migrant workers returning home.
So it’s no surprise many governments are pointing to the West, in particular America, as responsible for factory closures and job losses. This is what makes today’s crisis different, for example, to the Asian crisis a decade ago.
I’ve been looking for evidence of “finger-pointing” in the Arabic and Chinese media. But it strikes me that not everyone is behaving in the same way.
