Description
Economic Development in Ghana and Malaysia A Comparative Analysis by Samuel K Andoh, Bernice J. deGannes Scott, and Grace Ofori-Abebrese explores the divergent paths taken by two countries with similar economic profiles at independence. In 1957, both Ghana and Malaysia were at a comparable stage of development; however, their trajectories have since diverged significantly. The book examines the pre-colonial and colonial economies of both countries, as well as the economic policies pursued after independence. By comparing these factors, the authors aim to identify key policy decisions that may have contributed to Malaysia's sustained growth, while hindering Ghana's development. This comparative analysis provides valuable insights for students and researchers of development economics, as well as public policymakers in developing countries. Accessible to a general audience, this detailed study offers a nuanced understanding of the complex factors influencing economic development in Ghana and Malaysia.
