Abstract: Abstract There are three main sections in this chapter. The first section gives an overview of the economy and an insight into the ethos behind both the single-minded pursuit of material success and the mode of governance which characterizes Singapore. The second section examines the history of growth in the twentieth century, noting the consistent implementation of evolving but consistent policies including the development of human capital. The third section describes developments in the twenty-first century such as new destinations for trade and changing investment patterns.
