Recenzje

This excellent book rethinks the consequences of extractive colonial institutions. Analyzing the importance of early legal rights, Owolabi explains the puzzle of why countries in the West Indies have experienced better development outcomes than those in West Africa. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in colonialism, development, and democracy.
