5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful
This book is absolutely wonderful. First, it is easy to read and it offers a rarely studied cultural perspective on economies in failed states, and in states with weak governments.

2.0 out of 5 stars Somalia Economy

This book has a lot of detail on the Somalia economy

Although it has a lot of detail I felt
it was not organized in a way that
I was getting the big picture.

This review is from: Somalia: Economy without State (African Issues) (Paperback)
This book is absolutely wonderful. First, it is easy to read and it offers a rarely studied cultural perspective on economies in failed states, and in states with weak governments. The book is very well researched, and sources a number of other very good authors. The only draw back is that the book is almost entirely focused on the nomadic population in Southern Somalia, and offers little perspective on the merchant populations and no perspective on the Sab agricultural groups. Nonetheless, it was very informative.
