Chapter 9 in An Economic History of Development in sub-Saharan Africa, 2019, pp 265-272 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Hillbom and Green begin with a short summary of the previous chapters of the book. More interestingly and constituting a new addition, they ask whether Africa at last is growing out of poverty. The authors state that such a development requires for the African countries to find ways to move from natural resource-based growth spurts to economic diversification and transformation. They present various existing suggestions regarding how the future role of technological change, outsourcing, industrialisation, export-led growth and the expanding regional and domestic markets could eventually set at least some of the African countries on a pathway to economic development.
