Malaysian Economy, Governance and Society. Malaysia's economic development process and experience is unique. This book explores the country's economic policies: their implementation, impact and effectiveness, and provides the sorely needed economic literature on the Malaysianexperience.

By highlighting institutional weaknesses, Ramon V. Navaratnam recommends overdue reforms in the economic and banking sectors and in Malaysia public administration. By seeking to fathom the depths of the Asian financial crisis of 1997, he draws lessons from it and look at ways to reshape the Malaysian economy in the tide of globalisation, besides urging reforms and suggesting how both the Malaysian government and private sector can benefit from the challenges ahead.

By combining an analytical approach with plain, cimmunicative language, Navaratnam offers a cogent assessment of what Malaysia needs to do today to build a better tomorrow.
