Abstract
100 entries on the economics of Africa by leading economists. Authoritative perspective on African economic development. Contributions from Chief Economists of the African Development Bank and the World Bank, governors and finance ministers of the African Central Bank, and four Nobel Laureates in Economics.
Structured around thematic perspectives - grouped under distinctive topic headings - and alphabetic country perspectives.
Includes a directory of contributors cross referenced with each article, creating multiple access points for readers to dip in and out and navigate through the topics.
Features a chapter on post-war Libya, looking at the challenges and opportunities now faced.
Africa is a diverse continent. But is there a pattern to the diversity? Are there commonalities across the countries? And what does economics tell us about the diversity and the commonalities?
