Why does Namibia’s economy look the way it does today? Was the reliance on raw materials for exports
and on the service sector for employment an inevitability? And for what reasons has the manufacturing
sector – the vehicle for economic development for many now-high income countries throughout the 19th
and 20th centuries – seen its growth held back?
With these questions in mind, this book offers an extensive analysis of industrial development and economic
change in Namibia since 1900, exploring their causes, trajectory, vicissitudes, context, and politics.
Its focus is particularly on the motivations behind the economic decisions of the state, arguing that
power relations – both internationally and domestically – have held firm a status quo that has resisted
efforts towards profound economic change.
This work is the first in-depth economic study covering both
the colonial and independence eras of Namibia’s history and provides the first history of the country’s
manufacturing sector
