Joe Studwell's new account of Africa's developmental history debunks myths about underdevelopment, unproductive land, and overpopulation, charting monumental changes in government, demography, and asset management. He argues that the seizing back of land, people, and states across Africa has also been the seizure of mass economic development.

The African continent is experiencing remarkable growth and development, with the birth of new nations, independent democracies, the defeat of settler colonialism, and the unprecedented growth of cities from Lagos to Cairo. However, myths about underdevelopment, unproductive land, and unfounded concerns about overpopulation persist. In a new account of Africa's developmental history, writer and economist Joe Studwell debunks these long-held views and charts monumental changes in government, demography, and asset management. Studwell considers a wide range of factors, including settler colonialism, soil conditions, mineral extractivism, disease development and eradication, and case studies from Rwanda to Botswana. He persuasively argues that the seizing back of land, people, and states across Africa has also been the seizure of mass economic development. From slavery to independence and beyond, this is the definitive account of the world's second-largest continent and an optimistic look to its future.
