British Business in Post-Colonial Malaysia, 1957-1970
---
Nicholas J White
It has been argued that many former British colonies were only 'pseudo-independant' immediately after the apparent departure of their colonial rulers' departure. The newly independant Malaya, where the economy was dominated by British business, was one such case. White in this study argues that Malayan politicians and administrators soon learned to use British business for their own ends and, in the view of the business owners, frustrated development through poor decision making. Also a growing indigenous and non-British business presence undermined past British dominance. Good Hardback. First Edition. 256 pages with figures, tables, a bibliography and an index.
