Description and Table of Contents

Description

Ethiopia is a tragic country. It has extreme poverty, a soaring population, war and climatic disaster, all of which have contributed to block social and economic progress. Inappropriate government intervention, based on the command economy model, has particularly handicapped the performance of agriculture, which the author argues must be the key to economic progress. Based on a review of development theory and practice, this study examines Ethiopia's economic situation and prospects and suggests policies that would free the market to drive agricultural and wider development in Ethiopia.
