Abstract


In this article the writers acknowledge the salience of modern technology, albeit other factors, in the determination of Malaysia's economic development. They emphasise the complexity of the relationship between economic development and socio-cultural changes, most notably with explicit reference to the FELDA schemes. The point being made is that an appreciation of the process of change is essential to a proper understanding of the nature of development.
