The Southeast Asian Economies
An Eclectic Approach to Turning Points in Migration

In mid-1975, it appeared that the world-wide recession had finally caught with Singapore. After a splendid record of growth from 1966 to 1973 and a creditable performance of nearly 7% real growth in 1974, the Singapore economy seemed no longer able to work more miracles.
