About the Book
The performance figures achieved by the Rwandan economy for the past three decades demonstrate an exceptional growth in real GDP. They are of real interest for economists because Rwanda has been in a state of almost perpetual war during that time, whether through internal conflict or through international wars conducted directly or through proxies and militias. This book examines the accuracy of these figures and asks why, despite such growth, Rwanda remains a country of marked inequality and poverty.
