Summary "Indonesia between the mid-1960s and 1993 - the period on which this book focuses - rose from being the poorest country in Asia to become one of the most important economies in the region. This transformation was largely engineered by a group of economists, informally known as the 'technocrats', one of whom is the author."--BOOK JACKET. "His book examines the principles of economic development within the context of three dramatic decades. The author holds that effective policymaking must be responsive to changing economic and social conditions while guided by a pragmatic long-term vision of development and a firm commitment to sound economic principles."--BOOK JACKET. "The book covers every major aspect of economic policymaking and provides a frank and insightful analysis of the successes, problems, and lessons from the most vital period in Indonesia's modern history."--BOOK JACKET
