Opis

The book provides insight into the financial development in Malaysia and conceptualises it as a political process. It echoes a concern in political economy literature, namely the evolving relationship between states and markets, and the supposed retreat or reassertion of the state at a time of increasing (financial) globalisation.

Recenzje

"This book provides a timely and insightful look at financial development in Malaysia, emphasising how the interplay of political dynamics and financial policymaking and reform ultimately reinforces crony capitalism even while aiming for an inclusive and efficient financial system." — Helen E S Nesadurai, Professor, Monash University Malaysia
