From Crisis to Growth in Africa

This book is concerned with the problem of achieving sustained economic growth in thirteen African countries. These are divided into three groups: the war stricken economics (Angola Guinea-Bissau Ethiopia and Eritrea) the reform strugglers (Kenya Cape Verde Zambia Tanzania Mozambique and Zimbabwe) and the growth seekers (Uganda South Africa and Lesotho). Virtually all of these countries have gone through a structural adjustment program designed to remove imperfections that make it difficult for the market system to work in an optimal fashion. This title reviews these experiences.
