When Emporer Haile Selassie led Ethiopia out of Italian occupation,
he promised much - liberalisation, land reform, greater prosperity,
a modern army, and a modern bureaucracy. Thirty years later,
resistance, radical movements and dissent were to rock the
foundation of his fragile new society into revolution. The economic
history of modern Ethiopia has not attracted sufficient scholarly
attention, and there has been no publication of note since
Pankhurst in 1968. In recent years, Ethiopian scholars themselves
have begun to undertake serious research; but there has been a lack
of detail and up-to-date analysis, making it difficult to
understand the nature of the immense transformations the country
went through during its imperial age. Written by Ethiopians, this
work fills that gap. Agriculture, industrialisation, monetary
policy and demography are investigated; and topics range from
drought, the radical land protests of the 1960s, industrialisation
and manufacturing, to migration and the struggle for a currency.
The forthcoming Volume II will cover the "people's government"
period of 1974.
