The State of Africa
'Meredith has given a spectacularly clear view of the African political jungle' – Spectator 'This book is hard to beat... Elegantly written as well as unerringly accurate' – Financial Times The fortunes of Africa have changed dramatically since the independence era began in 1957. As Europe’s colonial powers withdrew, dozens of new states were born. Africa was a continent rich in mineral resources and its economic potential was immense. Yet, it soon struggled with corruption, violence and warfare, with few states managing to escape the downward spiral. So what went wrong? In this riveting and authoritative account, Martin Meredith examines the myriad problems that Africa has faced, focusing upon key personalities, events and themes of the independence era. He brings his compelling analysis into the modern day, exploring Africa’s enduring struggles for democracy and the rising influence of China. It is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the continent’s plight and its hopes for a brighter future.

This book provides an in-depth analysis of the US economy and argues that technology is playing a critical role in driving unemployment down. AI: American Innovation and the Economic Recovery takes an optimistic view of the potential for the US to achieve full employment. It builds on the monetary framework outlined in a previous book, The U.S. Economic Recovery, which predicted that the economic upturn triggered by quantitative easing was likely to endure. This latest book provides a detailed look at some of the key developments within the labour market, to see where the US is creating jobs. It also delves into some of the issues around the accuracy of the data used to track the US economy, and suggests that we may be underestimating some very positive trends. Without a proper understanding of the limits to current economic data, there is a danger that politicians will endorse policies that are counter-productive. GFC Economics. www.gfceconomics.com

Then, in the 1890s, commercial quantities of gold were discovered in the North and East of Western Australia. This sparked the first of several mineral booms in the Stat...
