Abstract

A central aim of many studies of African economic history has been why the transition to independence in the middle of the twentieth century did not lead to better economic outcomes. The economic struggles of African countries post-independence are often viewed through the lens of the Cold War. But as Leigh Gardner writes, Liberia’s experiences foreshadowed many of the same problems 50 years earlier.
