Singapore's transformation from a trading port to a global city offers a compelling case study in long-term economic change. The Economic History of Singapore presents a detailed account of the city-state's evolving economic roles, from regional entrepôt in the fourteenth century, to colonial port city in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and finally to a global hub for trade, finance, and innovation today.Drawing on archival sources, statistical data, and historical vignettes, the chapters in this volume offer an engaging and insightful narrative of Singapore's economic development. It examines key turning points, including the rise of the tin and rubber trades, the shift to export-led industrialisation, and the transition to a knowledge-based and innovation-driven economy. Alongside macroeconomic developments, it also considers shifts in living standards, labour markets, social infrastructure, and the instinct for economic survival that has guided Singapore's choices across different historical epochs.As the first comprehensive economic history of Singapore, this volume brings fresh insight into the enduring forces that have shaped the city-state's development, and reflects on its economic future. It will be a valuable resource for students and researchers of Southeast Asian history and economics, as well as general readers interested in the making of modern Singapore.

Research on Singapore's economic history has been complicated by the absence of economic data on pre-independence Singapore. This book aims to fill the gap by presenting a time-series of historical GDP estimates for the periods 1900-39 and 1950-60. The new data presented in the book sheds light on two key aspects of Singapore's economic history, namely the relationship between economic instability and growth, as well as the government's fiscal policy towards economic growth. As the first comprehensive empirical economic history of twentieth-century Singapore, this book is a valuable reference source for academics and graduate students interested in development and empirical economics.
