Publisher's Note
Adjibolosoo (business and economics, Trinity Western U., Canada) provides sub-Saharan African countries with alternative explanations for, and solutions to, their problems of economic underdevelopment, and discusses why previous policies and programs have failed. He offers a book of principles based on the central importance of humans to the process of economic growth as a challenge to orthodox development theorists. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc.

Sub-Saharan Africa has languished behind other developing parts of the world. Rich in natural resources, it has yet to develop more fully its human resources and effect the cultural changes necessary to economic growth and development. Adjibolosoo explores the explanation for the problems of economic underdevelopment in Africa, seeking the relevant human qualities necessary for economic development and presenting an alternative approach to traditional economic development thinking, policymaking, and program development. Students and researchers in developmental economics, regional economics, African Studies, international economics, and international business will find Adjibolosoo's interpretation of the realities of economic underdevelopment constructive.
