978-1-137-60243-5 (ISBN)
The book follows a first edition published in 1989, which focused on the severe economic crisis Ghana faced during the late 1970s and the early 1980s. In this second edition, the authors extend the review up to the mid-2010s, covering the entire period since independence, with a special focus on shifts in economic policy, starting with the adoption of the Economic Recovery Programme in 1983. Huq and Tribe provide systematic coverage of Ghanaian economic development since its independence, reviewing the two main modes of development that have been practiced; and offer an updated, rich data bank. By analyzing the wider macroeconomy of Ghana; its individual sectors; money, banking and trade; infrastructure and environmental policies; and Ghana's poverty, welfare and income distribution, the authors are able to draw vital lessons from the country's economic development. ?
Mozammel Huq is Honorary Senior Lecturer at the University of Strathclyde, UK, and Visiting Professor of Economics at UttarBangla University College (National University Bangladesh), Bangladesh. He has taught development economics for over three decades and published a large number of articles and books, including Development Economics (2009, with A Clunies-Ross and D Forsyth). His association with Ghana has remained close especially since the two-year period (1982-84) that he spent as a Senior Research Fellow at Cape Coast University.
Michael Tribe is Honorary Lecturer at the University of Strathclyde, UK. He is a development economist with wide-ranging academic experience and a significant publication record. He previously taught at the University of Bradford, UK, was a Research Fellow in the University of Cape Coast, Ghana between mid-1982 and mid-1984, and was the UK coordinator for a Ghana Development Studies Academic Link between 1990 and 2011.
