Summary: This volume attempts to analyse the process of growth in Ceylon since her opening to the world trade system during the 1840s. The study shows that economic changes of Ceylon are consistent with the "enclave" thesis. The growth of the estate sector and its continued prosperity, then, increased dividend levels for foreign shareholders and increased consumption levels within a growing enclave in Ceylon itself, but it did not materially raise levels of expenditure on Ceylon-produced goods and services. The main themes of this study includes development theory; analysis of the facts and theory of the long classical period; analysis of the new forces emerging with independence; the growing of population; and the drive for growth; and of the basic economics and the experience of the transition and of its failure..
