Dynamics of Development Economics second edition Michel Abdelouhab

From Chad to South Africa, via Angola, this book attempts to explain the dynamics of economic growth and development in relation to factual events, and the contradictions inherent in these ecosystems. The role of raw materials is evoked in the distortion of the socio-economic matrix in sub-Saharan Africa, as well as the debate on the sustainability of the CFA franc in the 14 countries of the franc zone. The informal sector, its size and importance in national economies are particularly developed. Its importance is moreover the subject of a debate on its role as a social shock absorber, but also as a brake on growth and economic development strategies. Post covid management is also discussed, as well as possible sources of financing for recovery plans.
