Abstract
Colonialism had established the institutions out of which a smooth transition to formal independence could be made. In terms of macro-economic growth this proved to be successful, but therein lay a number of contradictions which had implications for the shape of the political economy of Independent Malaya. In the following two chapters we will examine these tensions, the basis for their emergence, and the way the State sought to resolve them.
