Outstanding, excellent!

The clear, profound and well documented way of describing the complexities of the African economy makes this book one of the best in international economics. Mr. Mshomba's contributions transcend the analysis of the sub-Saharan region by clearing the path to undertanding the functioning of the world economy and its impact in developing countries. That's why this book is applicable to unveil the matter in other regions of the world. It is a must for international organizations, universities and policy makers... real policy makers.

The African economic situation explained

Richard Mshomba's "Africa in the Global Economy" presents an excellent analysis of both the situation and causation of economic conditions in Sub-Saharan Africa. The economic policies of African countries in combination with the trade policies of developed countries have both contributed to the lack of real economic growth. My summary of the book would be this - African countries have continued to shoot themselves in the foot while developed countries, like the U.S., have held the gun.For anyone with any interest in international economics, this is truly a great read.

A great book about sub-Saharan Africa. Read it!

Mshomba's "Africa in the Global Economy" is by far the best book I have ever read in international economics.The author writes clearly and objectively in evaluating sub-Saharan trade policies.I highly recommend it for those interested in learning more and understanding better sub-Saharan Africa from an economics point of view.
