Why read it?
1 author picked Explaining Successes in Africa as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Africa is often held up as a development failure, with The Economist magazine famously branding it the “Hopeless Continent” in 2000.
This book shatters such a misrepresentation and shows many examples of development success on the continent.
