ROBERT RUBIN: Well, and it's not clear when you would
say it ended, but what happened was that the countries
that actually took ownership of reform -- Korea,
Thailand, the Philippines, Brazil -- began to reestablish
stability in their financial markets, and their economies
started to recover. And after a while there came a point
we began to feel, "Well, maybe we're past the crisis."
Then a little bit past that we said, "You know, it does
look like we are past the crisis." And finally we got to
the point where we said, "Well, we think this is over."
NARRATOR: The world economy had survived the first
crisis of the globalization era, but millions of ordinary
people had paid the price.

THEA LEE: People came together from all over the world
in Seattle to say that the rules of the current global
economy as embodied in the World Trade Organization
are unfair. They're bad for developing countries, they're
bad for workers, and they're bad for the environment.
