En savoir plus sur le livre

Focusing on living standards across Southeast Asia from 1900 to 2015, this book analyzes the region's evolution through the colonial era, independence, and subsequent decades. It employs various monetary and non-monetary indicators to assess changes, situating these developments within broader discussions of economic growth, inequality, and poverty alleviation that emerged in the late 20th century. The work provides a comprehensive view of how each of the ten countries has navigated these complex issues over time.
