Description:

The Guide to the Namibian Economy 2010 is the brainchild of Robin Sherbourne, a trustee of the IPPR and a former director of the organisation. As such, it is voluminous, but its size should not put off would-be readers, since it is written and presented in a style that is highly readable and relevant. This is not a dry and dusty economics tome. There is unlikely to be another book on the Namibian economy that is as detailed and accessible. The contents do not necessarily reflect the views of the Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR) but are in keeping with the IPPR's mission to publish critical and constructive analysis on economic, political and social issues affecting development in Namibia. This second edition includes not only a comprehensive update of data and events but also a wealth of new material including boxes on the informal sector, welfare payments, Namibia's white fish industry, BEE in the mining sector and more.
