This book is a major contribution to scholarship on economic development in low-income countries by its brilliant analysis of theories of development from Raul Prebisch and the CEPAL structuralists in Latin America to Samir Amin and his followers in Africa. It ought to be read by all those interested in economic development in mineral-rich countries in Africa and in other countries of the South. * Georges Nzongola-Ntalaja, Professor of African and Global Studies, University of North Carolina * The analysis in this book should inspire policy makers in African countries who hope to chart a new course towards resource-based industrialization that is transformative, inclusive, and sustainable. * L´eonce Ndikumana, Distinguished Professor of Economics, University of Massachusetts * In this hard-headed and systematic critique, Radley reveals how domestic forces in and around mining create more favourable opportunities for developing national sovereign projects in Africa. A must read for anyone looking for radical policy alternatives. * Ray Bush, Professor Emeritus, African Studies and Development Politics, University of Leeds *
