Description Rather than present development economics by introducing and explaining theories and concepts, this volume introduces the topic through the lens of a business investor exploration.
Using the 52 developing countries of Africa as background, the reader is led to explore and analyze their economic environments over a combined period of 15 years.
In so doing, various mechanisms, concepts and theories are utilized and they are introduced and explained at every step.
This way, the reader becomes acquainted with the intricacies of development economics in a practical manner that involves real-life economic and business scenarios.
Not only do they learn and grasp economic concepts and theories, they also learn how these work and when to deploy them.
They should come away with a vivid understanding of development economics and developing countries characteristics, all of this experienced in an engaging, vibrant, graphically attractive and user-friendly process.
The book starts out with the conviction and basic premise that economic concepts are too often portrayed as complicated subject matter; its intent is to introduce macroeconomics to the reader and show that economics can indeed be a good friend with interesting stories to tell.
Possibly the first things noticed about the volume are its vivid colors and exciting appearance.
That is deliberate: it has been designed to be invigorating and inviting to read, while being at the same time of the highest academic and analytical standards.
In this light, of particular consequence are the incisive and pithy commentaries that accompany the analyses outcomes on every page.
