This book was written by Puthucheary during the second of his three bouts of imprisonment for political activism by the Singaporean Government, both before and after Singapore became a self-governing state. He explains how the organisation of labour under British rule militated against racial co-operation and why the majority of Malayans remained poor in a country rich in natural resources, thus making the book still relevant to the understanding of Malaysia today.
