Description
Dealing with the problems of Africa as a whole, this volume enables the reader to appreciate how, within diverse socio-economic and cultural settings, different African societies are pursuing the difficult task of economic development. From sources all over the world the editors have collected twenty-one papers that focus upon such topics as labor, education, taxation, agriculture, and modern as well as primitive economics. This combination of essays by individual contributors and reports from various United Nations Commissions affords an up-to-date, panoramic view of African economic perspectives. Introductory notes on each section by the editors interrelate the various selections and highlight their main points.
Because of its interdisciplinary approach, Africa: Problems in Economic Development is a comprehensive and useful anthology for any student of the economic, political, social, or historical aspects of African studies.
