This book traces the economic history of Zimbabwe from independence to the present day. Through a comprehensive historical examination, it highlights the short-lived successes in the early years after independence and the dwindling colonial economy, as well as the economic problems of the decades that followed. The authors identify crucial flaws in the country's economic policies and highlight several dilemmas in the implementation of policies that exacerbated the country's deep-seated structural problems. The book provides deep insights into the economic and social realities of post-colonial states in Africa and offers important lessons for other African countries.
