This book looks at thirty years of Neoliberalism in Africa. Not merely an economic shock or a quick process of "structural adjustment," Neoliberalism has been a historic shift in Africa's development politics and policy. As an ideology, Neoliberalism looks beyond the mere market economy towards a market society. In the context of thirty years of projects, aid disbursement, technical assistance and conditionality, Graham Harrison evaluates the extent of this bolder social transformation in Africa. He finds that, despite the size of resources behind it and the lack of policy alteatives, Neoliberal progress in Africa has been remarkably limited.
