About this title

Synopsis

At the heart of Singapore's political economy is the PAP government, which controls the levers of control. The accumulation of power occurs through a recurring pattern of state collectivisation and economic liberalisation, while the nation's wealth expands through state investment vehicles adapting to shifts in geopolitics and trends in international trade and finance. Overshadowing the bicameral capitalistic system is the corridor of power, where ideas are developed to drive growth and prosperity in order to maintain an iron grip on the populace. As bureaucrats and ministers coordinate to rebalance economic reforms with state control by binding state collectivisation and financialisation, citizens are caught in the paradox of economic liberalisation and authoritarianism. This book examines how Singaporean leaders embrace change--by meticulously balancing control and freedom, prosperity and dominance--to stay in power.

In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence.
