An Economic History of Malaysia, c.1800-1990 by John Drabble

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.

'I commend this book to all scholars of modern Southeast Asian historyFor the first time, we have a book which places Malaysia's successful transition to modern economic growth within a longer historical perspective.' - Wang Gungwu, Director, East Asian Institute

John H. Drabble is Honorary Research Associate at the Department of Economic History, University of Sydney.
