Why Africa is poor by Greg Mills
Looks at the fragile economic and political situation in Africa, and argues that the main reason why Africa's people are poor is due to the choices made by their leaders. This book focuses on the way in which the global economy works, Africa's record and the choices made by its leaders, the role of the outside world and the global aid regime.
