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.

'. . . 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: Struggle for Success is the definitive account of the events that resurrected Singapore—events that continue to shape the life of every Singaporean. Within a single generation Singaporeans underwent an extraordinary transformation. During three decades of violence and instability, Singapore was nearly torn apart by foreign occupation, political upheaval and communist urban revolution. Yet today this island state is a haven of tranquility and one of the most prosperous nations in Asia. How Lee Kuan Yew and his political colleagues persuaded the British government in the 1950s to take a gamble with home rule; how they outwitted the Communist in the 1960s; how they transformed an underdeveloped, disparate Chinese, Malay, Indian and Caucasian community from a state of poverty and political unrest into a thriving, modern nation of the 1990s—this is the theme of this meticulously researched and very readable work. Explaining Singapore’s transformation, the author describes the dramatic events that brought about the very best and the very worst in the leading personalities of the time: honour and treachery, courage and cowardice, selflessness and venality
