| Summary |
"From colonialism to independent statehood, the extent of Malaysia's capitalist development has been significantly limited by its peripheral position in the world economy. As a result, the fruits of economic growth have not been equally shared among its citizens and neither has economic prosperity done much to foster greater multiculturalism or democracy in the country"--Publisher's description. |
