Description

This painstaking examination of the anatomy of inequality and poverty in Malaysia as revealed by the Post-Enumeration Survey (PES) which accompanied the 1970 Population Census in that country, and the result? ing analysis of the 1971 New Economic Policy (NEP) of 1971 (Prongs 1 and 2 of that policy, in particular, which were the inequality-related com? ponents of it) is clearly must reading for all those interested in the area of development policy as it relates to inequality. I also recommend it strongly to all research scholars in Economics, as an example of what applied economic research can be at its very best.
