The book delves into how natural resource wealth has influenced authoritarian regimes and state-controlled economies in southern Africa since the post-colonial era. It features five essays, beginning with a historical overview of natural resources as economic drivers in sub-Saharan Africa. Subsequent essays focus on Tanzania, Zambia, and Zimbabwe, analyzing the economic evolution and its effects on the rural poor. The final essay discusses the neoliberal context of these changes and suggests potential remedies for their adverse impacts.
