"This book uses lessons from history to help African countries take charge of their
own economic development agenda. History is an important part of Africa's economic
development narrative, and Ocran investigates how the development outcomes between
Africa and Western Europe became so divergent when in the early medieval period average
income levels and economic development in the two regions differed only marginally.
The sixteenth century marked a turning point, with the emergence of Western European
mercantilism and capitalism and their associated exploitation of other countries.
In understanding Africa's economic development, it is crucial to recognise that Africa
has not always been poor. Examining 400 years of enslavement and colonisation, this
book takes us to present day Africa and economic issues affecting the continent. With
selected case studies from Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Singapore to South Korea and China,
Ocran proposes ways to break out of the economic development quandary Africa currently
faces."
