Economic Development in Ghana and Malaysia investigates why two
countries that appeared to be at more or less the same stage of
economic development at one point in time have diverged so
substantially. At the time of their independence from the UK in
1957, both Ghana and Malaysia were at roughly the same stage of
economic development; in fact, Ghana's real per capita income was
slightly ahead of Malaysia's. Since then, Ghana's development has
been sluggish, while Malaysia's economy has taken off into
sustained growth and today, the real per capita income of Malaysia
is about five times that of Ghana. This volume examines the
pre-colonial and colonial economies of both countries, and the
economic policies pursued after independence. In doing so, it aims
to identify policies which might have contributed to Malaysia's
development and those which might have slowed Ghana's. The authors
ask whether lessons can be learned from the successes of countries
such as Malaysia. This detailed comparative analysis will be useful
to students and researchers of development economics as well as
public policy makers in developing countries. It is written in
language which makes it accessible to the general reader.
