The myth of economic growth in Africa

Author

Listed:
  • Franklin Obeng-Odoom

Abstract

Most of the models in economics were formulated based on experiences outside Africa, raising questions about their relevance to the continent where conditions can be markedly different to those that inspired those models. This debate must be revisited in the light of recent economic controversies about Africa.
