Description:
This book suggests a unique conceptual framework for designing and conducting economic policy in developing countries, particularly those in Africa.
Review Quotes:
"This is an important book on prospects for accelerated economic development in Africa by a well-qualified observer with extensive policy experience in the region. Ferdinand Bakoup has provided an original, systematic, and comprehensive overview of the policy challenges and opportunities facing Africa today, with a focus on how Africans themselves can achieve important gains in living standards on the continent through appropriate domestic policy choices. I recommend this book not just to macroeconomists and development economists with an interest in Africa, but to anyone with a professional interest in improving living standards in low-income countries more generally." - Peter Montiel, Professor of Economics, Williams College, USA
