Produktinformationen zu „From Third World to First “
An absorbing and in-depth look at Lee Kuan Yew, the man whose singular vision transformed a tiny island into an economically thriving socialist-democratic state that has become the leader of the new Asian economy. This book details his complex economic and social engineering strategies, many of which continue to impact and influence the way business is done, and economies are shaped, all across Asia - and therefore the World - today.
Klappentext zu „From Third World to First “
Few gave tiny Singapore much chance of survival when it was granted independence in 1965. How is it, then, that today the former British colonial trading post is a thriving Asian metropolis with not only the world's number one airline, but also the world's fourth-highest per capita real income? This title is the story of that transformation.
Autoren-Porträt von Lee Kuan Yew
Lee Kuan Yew was born in Singapore on September 16, 1923, a third-generation descendant of immigrants from China's Guangdong Province. He read law at Cambridge University, England. In 1954 he formed the People's Action Party, which won the first Singapore general election five years later. Lee became the country's first prime minister in 1959, at the age of thirty-five. In November 1990 he resigned the office to assume the post of senior minister in the Singapore cabinet.
