An Economic History of Ghana: Reflections on a Half-Century of Challenges & Progress

This anthology of reflections is a companion to the 2008 television series of the same title, providing more detail about how things have changed and how they have stalled in the African country since independence in March 1957. Researchers and scholars, bureaucrats, ministers and former minister of state, university dons, civil society leaders, and other Ghanaians and non-Ghanaians, are interviewed about structures and institutions in a post-colonial economy, the role of public policy, and stimulation and innovation in the economy.
