Introduction: Development in the Long Run -- 2. Agriculture, 1800-1964 -- 3. Trade and Industry, 1800-1938 -- 4. The State and the Economy, 1938-1986 -- 5. The Liberal Age, 1987-Present -- 6. Final Remarks.This book provides the first wide-ranging account of the Maltese economy in the modern era, from colonialism to European Union membership. It sets arguments about growth and development, and the impact and legacy of colonization, against detailed histories of agriculture, manufacturing and trade, and different economic policy regimes. It is based on volumes of newly collected archival evidence and the latest thinking in economic history. By extending coverage up to the present, the book explains how one of the world's smallest nation-states achieved lasting economic development, quintupling its per capita income level since 1970, when many other postcolonial and advanced economies stagnated.Palgrave Studies in Economic History,2662-6500Economic historyEuropeEconomic conditionsRegional economicsSpatial economicsEconomic HistoryEuropean EconomicsRegional and Spatial EconomicsEconomic history.EuropeEconomic conditions.Regional economics.Spatial economics.Economic History.European Economics.Regional and Spatial Economics.330.9Caruana Galizia Paul1988-authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1428103BOOK9910156184703321The Economy of Modern Malta3563218UNINA
