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.

Hal Hill is Professor of Economics and Head of the Southeast Asia Economy Program at the Australian National University.
