A collection of essays and studies in which the authors reflect on lessons learned from attempts to liberalize African economies. The authors, eight British economists mostly associated with the University of Oxford or employed by the World Bank, use available evidence to discuss the process, problems, and lessons from attempted market reforms. The first set of papers address the adjustment of the role of the state in macroeconomic policy. The second discusses moving away from direct government production through state enterprises.
