Book Description
This monograph seeks the key to good economic policy by explaining Singapore's remarkably rapid development-the world's fastest-growing economy between 1960 and 2000-and asks whether the city-state's success can be translated to other countries. Engineering prosperity is at the heart of Singapore. The book demonstrates how exceptional cohesion amongst economic outcomes, policies, institutions, values, and leadership over a long period account for the impressive results obtained. The author is careful not to present Singapore as a model to be copied uncritically in its specifics but as a case history that illustrates general principles which other countries might wish to apply to their particular circumstances.Well-researched yet highly readable, Singapore's Success: Engineering Economic Growth will appeal to Singaporeans and a wide international audience, including policy-makers and advisors, students of development economics, and anyone interested in the quest for sustained economic growth.

Book Description
'. . . serious, useful and interesting volume. It is readable, original, creative and well researched. In analyzing Singapore's experience the author provides a superb case study. Moreover, in providing it, by venturing beyond the narrow confines of his case study Sung also makes points that are pertinent to the efficacy of development processes generally, including in newer, lower income and/or transitional economies. . . this reviewer recommends the book enthusiastically and without reservation.' - Robert L.

Singapore is known internationally for its successful economic development. Key to its economic successes is a variety of policies put into place over the past 50 years since its independence. Singapore's Economic Development: Retrospection and Reflections provides a retrospective analysis of independent Singapore's economic development, from the perspective of different policy domains each considered by different expert scholars in that particular field.The book is written by academic economists in a style that is accessible to non-experts. Each chapter includes reviews of past scholarship, current data on each policy area, and reflections on required or desirable future policy changes and outcomes.By examining the evolution of past and current policies which combined to make Singapore's development a success and exploring emerging developmental challenges, Singapore's Economic Development: Retrospection and Reflections gives readers a better understanding of Singapore's economic trajectory and future.

Book Description
This book provides a comprehensive overview of the economic development of Singapore, easily the leading commercial and financial centre in Southeast Asia throughout the twentieth century. This development has been based on a strategic location at the crossroads of Asia, a free trade economy, and a dynamic entrepreneurial tradition. Initial twentieth-century economic success was linked to a group of legendary Chinese entrepreneurs, but by mid-century independent Singapore looked to multinational enterprise to deliver economic growth. Nonetheless exports of manufactures accounted for only part of Singaporean expansion, and by the 1980s Singapore was a major international financial centre and leading world exporter of commercial services. Throughout this study Dr Huff assesses the interaction of government policy and market forces, and places the transformation of the Singaporean economy in the context of both development theory and experience elsewhere in East Asia.

Book Description
Globalization is a key concern today as witnessed by the increasing international transactions and burgeoning interest in the fast-growing economies in Asia. Aided by the proliferation of technology and telecommunications, the tyranny of space and time has been rendered less daunting and more easily surmountable. As a small open economy, Singapore is highly vulnerable to external forces and dependent on the global economy for its trade, investment and technology markets. Recognizing Singapores vulnerable position, and faced with the increasingly complex and difficult global issues in the 1970s, Mr. Hon Sui Sen understood the need for desperate measures in desperate times. A man of vision and high intellectual capacity, and as one of the longest serving Finance Ministers in the world, Mr. Hon set policies that would help Singapore to weather the difficult years of the 1970s and lead it to achieve its status today as a thriving nation. This reissue is part of the Singapore Economics His
