The Malaysian Economy: Rethinking Policies & Purposes

Author:

The Malaysian growth miracle is one of the world’s greatest success stories.  In a relatively short span of time tremendous achievements have been made in reducing poverty, raising the standard of living and creating a formidable manufacturing sector. Malaysia cannot rest on its laurels. The standards have been pushed up.  Malaysia aims to move out of its middle-income status and achieve something of the dynamism of economies such as China and Korea. This requires a new roadmap.

The chapters in this book are an attempt at defining the parameters of the vision that will guide the passage of the economy to greater economic development. They critically engage with current economic policies with the intention of sharpening the focus on what needs to be done to drive the economy to greater heights. 

The task of reaching developed country status is not an easy goal, and cannot be limited to the metric of income.  The author argues for a fresh paradigm on development thinking and expresses his views on a variety of issues that include trade, competitiveness and fiscal policy. This book is essential reading for anyone wishing to understand the Malaysian economy. Anyone who is seriously interested in Malaysia’s economic future cannot afford to ignore this book.
