Since then, Ghana's development has been sluggish, while Malaysia's economy has taken off into sustained growth and today, the real per capita income of Malaysia is about five times that of Ghana. This volume examines the pre-colonial and colonial economies of both countries, and the economic policies pursued after independence. In doing so, it aims to identify policies which might have contributed to Malaysia's development and those which might have slowed Ghana's. The authors ask whether lessons can be learned from the successes of countries such as Malaysia.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis detailed comparative analysis will be useful to students and researchers of development economics as well as public policy makers in developing countries.
