You are right, however Singapore is a special case. It has grown from third-word status to extraordinary economic impact in just 50 years, a trajectory not seen by nearly any other society in history, but its growth has been very unbalanced. It&#x27;s primary growing pain has been a disconnect between its economic success and old-world policies that are no better than many other still-developing countries and failed to grow alongside its economy. It caught up quickly to the rest of the developed world in economic ways, but still lags deeply far behind in many other ways.
