{"product_id":"ghanas-economic-and-agricultural-transformation-past-performance-and-future-prospects-9780198845348","title":"Ghana's Economic and Agricultural Transformation: Past Performance and Future Prospects","description":"Many African countries have experienced unprecedented rates of economic growth in recent years, yet their economic transformations display features that could constrain their future growth prospects. Patterns of urbanization without industrialization, the rapid growth of low productivity jobs in\u003cbr\u003ethe informal economy and a neglected agricultural sector with an increased need for important foods are all areas of concern as Africa continues to develop.\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\nUsing Ghana as a case study, \u003cem\u003eGhana's Economic and Agricultural Transformation: Past Performance and Future Prospects\u003c\/em\u003e integrates economic and political analysis to explore the challenges and opportunities of Africa's transformation. It examines Ghana's overall economic performance since it went\u003cbr\u003ethrough a major Structural Adjustment Program in the early 1980s, and provides an in-depth empirical analysis of the broader economy and the agricultural sector over the last four decades. It explains why Ghana has not transformed its economy more substantially, why its agriculture sector has not\u003cbr\u003eplayed a greater role beyond cocoa production, and what must be done in the future to achieve a successful transformation. In addressing these puzzles \u003cem\u003eGhana's Economic and Agricultural Transformation\u003c\/em\u003e considers what the rest of the world can learn from Ghana's experience.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Xinshen Diao\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/22\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.30w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198845348","brand":"Oxford University Press, USA","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":39932119154803,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":103.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_e2e8e7f5-a9e4-4fb4-98c9-7e1e346cad73.jpg?v=1647790568","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/ghanas-economic-and-agricultural-transformation-past-performance-and-future-prospects-9780198845348","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
