Despite Ghana's strong democratic track record in recent decades,
the economy remains underdeveloped. Industrial policies are
necessary to transform the colonial trading economy that Ghana
inherited at independence, but successive governments have been
unwilling or unable to implement them. In this highly original
interpretation, supported by new empirical material, Lindsay
Whitfield exposes the reasons for why the Ghanaian economy remains
underdeveloped and sets her theory in the wider African context.
She offers a new way of thinking about the political economy of
Africa that charts a clear path away from defining Africa in terms
of neopatrimonial politics and that provides new conceptual tools
for addressing what kind of business-state relations are necessary
to drive economic development. As a study of Ghana that addresses
both the economy and politics from early colonialism to the present
day, this is a must-read for any student or scholar interested in
the political economy of development in Africa.
