An Economic History of Malaysia, C.1800-1990: The Transition to Modern Economic Growth (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780333552995)

An Economic History of Malaysia, c.1800-1990, provides the first general history of the Malaysian economy over the past two centuries, including a survey of the pre-colonial era. A unique feature is that it integrates the historical experiences of Peninsular Malaysia, Sabah and Sarawak as a case study in the onset of modern economic growth. Particular attention is paid to explaining Malaysia's signal success in achieving a relatively smooth shift away from the primary commodity export economy of the colonial period to near-NIC status by 1990.
