Sub-Saharan Africa stands at a critical juncture between repeating historical boom-and-bust cycles and achieving sustained economic prosperity. While recent growth has sparked hope, this book goes beyond growth to examine the structural changes that shaped the region’s economies since independence. It reveals that today’s growth is built on improved foundations compared to past growth spurts. The
