Description:
Singapore: NUS Press, 2012. First edition. Hardcover. New/new. This history of Malaysia's insurance industry is a story of growth and adaptation to changing circumstances. Whereas the industry originally limited itself to protecting fledgling mining and plantation enterprises from excessive risk, by the middle of the 20th century, it was dealing with a wider range of domestic insurance, then war risk and eventually having to adapt to foreign competition. The author also covers the activities of tariff trade associations and insurance trade associations. New Hardback in a New Dust Jacket. First Edition. 647 pages with tables, a bibliography and an index. Weight: 1.3 kg Post free within Malaysia, but, due to its weight, this book is likely to incur additional postal charges when posted outside Malaysia
