A wealth of new data have been unearthed in recent years on African
economic growth, wages, living standards, and taxes. In The Wealth
and Poverty of African States, Morten Jerven shows how these
findings transform our understanding of African economic
development. He focuses on the central themes and questions that
these state records can answer, tracing how African states evolved
over time and the historical footprint they have left behind. By
connecting the history of the colonial and postcolonial periods, he
reveals an aggregate pattern of long-run growth from the late
nineteenth century into the 1970s, giving way to widespread failure
and decline in the 1980s, and then followed by two decades of
expansion since the late 1990s. The result is a new framework for
understanding the causes of poverty and wealth and the trajectories
of economic growth and state development in Africa across the
twentieth century.
