The Indonesian Economy

This book offers a balanced analysis, evaluation and explanation of Indonesia's economic performance over the past three decades of strong growth, from 1967 to 1996. Hal Hill highlights Indonesia's successes during this period--rapid industrialization, major achievements in the food crop sector and the adoption, from the mid-1980s, of outward-looking policies. In this revised edition, an extended postscript takes the story through the dramatic turnaround and political and economic crises since 1997, including the downfall of Suharto.
