This is a comprehensive study of the performance of the Jamaican economy in the post-war period based on statistical materials assembled from a variety of sources. The book analyses the economic system through time series analysis (1950-68) of its major structural components: agriculture, mining, manufacturing, tourism, and foreign trade. This is carried out against the background of historical evolution of the economy, origins and scope of planning in Jamaica and the various factors which influence the formation of economic policy.
