This book compares the socio-economic status of the Malaysian states over the years. It compares the incidence of poverty, income and amenities by state. It examines economic structure by state, including the agriculture, manufacturing and services sub-sectors, which affect the respective state economic growth.

In particular, it relates these powers to financial and administrative decisions, which have influenced regional disparities.
