  i've been brought up in the 'spare the rod and spoil the child' environment. of course spanking was always the last resort.... when reasoning and scolding fails.

  Malaysia pegged the ringgit as a protective measure during the 1997 asian financial crisis. It served her well. My understanding (which might be wrong) is that pegging the currency back then was to limit the flow of money out of the country since outside forces were destroying the local economy back then. The current state of the global economy due to the sub-prime loans is somewhat a different type of problem; it started inside a local economy with a currency held by everyone. Like some14some said, its not due to exchange rate fluctuations, so I don't think pegging exchange rates now would stabilize the global economy.
