Wealth of East Asian Nations: Speeches and Writings"The problems concomitant with economic development are basically the same in every country, but the ways of addressing them vary. Singapore, well-known for its economic success, has approached such problems with incisiveness, resolve, and integrity. In his speeches and writings, Dr. Goh Keng Swee gives a clear insight into Singapore's economic miracle and shows his profound understanding of the workings of other East Asian economies." "This compilation reflects the process of industrialisation and the birth of a successful economy. For the older generation, this book traces the struggle of the early years. For the younger generation, it serves as a record of the past, and a blueprint for the future." "This reissue also includes a new foreword by Professor Wang Gungwu (East Asian Institute, Singapore)."--BOOK JACKET. |
