Agriculture, Liberalisation, and Economic Growth in Ghana and Cote D'Ivoire: 1960-1990 (Development Centre Studies) by Robin W. Alpine, James Pickett pdf epub fb2

Provides a thought-provoking and lively analysis of reform options and experiences of the two West African countries which faced broadly similar economic problems at independence. The conclusions drawn suggest that the public-private balance and market orientation are crucial to an explanation of the success or failure of economic policies. Because the lessons are recommendations apply to other similar economies, this book will be of interest to a wide audience as well as to specialists of the two countries concerned.
