Summary:

No country is at once more important and less well known than Indonesia. Only China, India, and the United States have larger populations. Of the world's 88 lower and lower-middle income economies, only three in 1980-1992 grew faster than Indonesia's. Yet even today many Americans surprised by these basic facts. This book achieves two goals: it presents an accessible introduction to the most significant problems facing Indonesia today and raises issues for further investigation.
