Malawi is one of the poorest countries on the globe. Subsistence
agriculture remains at the very heart of its social fabric, and
also lies at the root of its tremendous poverty. Yet while Malawi
is among the worst performers in terms of per capita income and
infant mortality, it is also a surprising leader in other areas
(such as freedom of the press), has enjoyed over fifty years of
relative stability since independence, and still holds great
potential for economic development. Bringing together some of the
leading experts on the country, this collection offers a
comprehensive introduction to contemporary Malawi, encompassing its
economy, culture, and politics. An invaluable resource for scholars
and development professionals alike, the book assesses the root
causes of Malawi’s impoverishment, and also offers insight into
how the country might break out of its development impasse.
