Sumario: | "Following independence, most countries in Africa sought to develop, but their governments pursued policies that actually undermined their rural economies. Examining the origins of Africa's 'growth tragedy, ' Markets and States in Tropical Africa has for decades shaped the thinking of practitioners and scholars alike. Robert H.
