From Third World to First

Lee Kuan Yew

History / Governance

Lee Kuan Yew's memoir of building Singapore from a resource-poor city-state into a prosperous, well-ordered society in a single generation. Balaji holds it up as concrete proof that a small, well-run polity can outperform large legacy states — a founding-era data point for the network-state argument.
