Ronald I. McKinnon (735 words) |
 | McKinnon was among the first (together with his Stanford colleague, Edward S. Shaw) to analyze "financial repression" as a substantial barrier to successful economic development. |
| Here, McKinnon has focused more on East Asia and the great currency crisis of 1997-98 (which may not be over) affecting Indonesia, Korea, Malaysia, Philippines, and Thailand on the one hand, and the foreign exchange origins of Japan's liquidity trap and more prolonged economic slump on the other. |
| McKinnon's research has been greatly helped by current and former students-both graduate and undergraduate-who have written Ph.D dissertations or senior undergraduate honors theses with him. |

Gary McKinnon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1178 words) |
| Gary McKinnon, also known as Solo, (born in Glasgow in 1966) is a British hacker accused by one United States prosecutor of perpetrating the "biggest military computer hack of all time." Following legal hearings in the UK it was decided in July 2006 that he should be extradited to the United States. |
| McKinnon was originally tracked down and arrested under the Computer Misuse Act by the UK National Hi-Tech Crime Unit (NHTCU) in 2002 who informed him that he would face community service. |
| Gary McKinnon also claims that the USA is trying to make him a scapegoat by trying to impose an exemplary gaol sentence on him (up to 70 years) extraditing him to the USA for trial. |
