‘In confidence: Thai economic virility, internal angst, and The Market: so, what’s next then?’

This paper will examine the concept of confidence as it relates to economics, and will also apply it to the Thai paradigm. The reasoning for taking this approach is to understand and rationalize Thai economic dynamism in a period of relative global economic austerity, and also in the context of domestic unease. With these issues discussed and established, the paper will then offer some analysis of the likely imputations for future socio-economic development.
