Lion City tells the extraordinary story of Singapore - the world's most successful city state. Now it has outstripped Japan.After the Second World War and a sudden rupture with newly formed Malaysia, Singapore found itself independent - and facing a crisis. In 1965, Singapore's GDP per capita was on a par with Jordan.
Jeevan Vasagar, former Singapore correspondent for the Financial Times, masterfully takes us through the intricate history, present and future of this unique diamond-shaped island one degree north of the equator, where new and old have remained connected.Lion City is a personal, insightful and essential guide to the city, and how its remarkable rise is shaping East Asia and the rest of the world. It took the bloody-minded determination and vision of Lee Kuan Yew, its founding premier, to take a small island of diverse ethnic groups with a fragile economy and hostile neighbours and meld it into Asia's first globalised city.
