Africa : why economists get it wrong / Morten Jerven. by Jerven, Morten, author., International African Institute. issuing body., Royal African Society, issuing body., World Peace Foundation. issuing body. London : Zed Books, in association with International African Institute, Royal African Society, World Peace Foundation, 2015. Series:  African arguments. Description:  160 pages : illustrations ; 22 cm. Contents:  Misunderstanding economic growth in Africa -- Trapped in history? -- African growth recurring -- Africa's statistical tragedy? Summary:  Reframes the debate about Africa's growth or lack thereof, challenging mainstream accounts of African economic history. For the first time in generations, Africa is spoken of these days with enthusiastic hope: no longer seen as a hopeless morass of poverty, the continent instead is described as “Africa Rising,” a land of enormous economic potential that is just beginning to be tapped. With Africa: Why Economists Get It Wrong, Morten Jerven offers a bracing corrective. Neither story, he shows, is accurate. In truth, most African economies have been growing rapidly since the 1990s--and, until a collapse in the ’70s and ’80s, they had been growing reliably for decades. Puncturing weak analysis that relies too much on those two lost decades, Jerven redraws our picture of Africa’s past, present, and potential.--Publisher website.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status   Peosta Library Circulation Stacks 330.96 Jer 2015 Checked In Add Copy to MyList Format: HTMLPlain textDelimited Subject:   Email to:
