In most post-colonial regimes in sub-Saharan Africa, state power has been used to structure economic production in ways that have tended to produce economic stagnation rather than growth. This 1993 book examines the ways in which the exercise of state power in Africa has inhibited economic growth, focusing on the case of Senegal.
