This book aims to fill the gap by presenting a time-series of historical GDP estimates for the periods 1900-39 and 1950-60. The new data presented in the book sheds light on two key aspects of Singapore's economic history, namely the relationship between economic instability and growth, as well as the government's fiscal policy towards economic growth. As the first comprehensive empirical economic history of twentieth-century Singapore, this book is a valuable reference 410 0$aEconomic growth centre research monograph series ;$vv. 2. 606 $aEconomic development$zSingapore 607 $aSingapore$xEconomic conditions$y20th century 615 0$aEconomic development 676 $a330.9595705 700 $aSugimoto$b Ichiro?$01702979 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910814580803321 996 $aEconomic growth is Singapore in the twentieth century$94087892 997 $aUNINA
