A propos du livre

Revue de presse

An intriguing insight into the complex relationships between the moribund official economy and the dynamic real economy which typifies much of the continent. --Christopher Adam in JOURNAL OF AFRICAN ECONOMIES

Satisfies one's underfed curiosity about Zaire, treats a subject worthy of a great deal more attention and is rich in anecdote ... readable and informative. --Gregroy Kronsten in DEVELOPMENT POLICY REVIEW

Présentation de l'éditeur

How do people survive in an African country where the economy is a disaster? MacGaffey takes the case of Zaire where the centre is increasingly held by the 'second' or informal economy and proposes that all economies should be assessed to include the activities of the second economy such as smuggling which occur on a large scale throughout the continent. North America: University of Pennsylvania Press
