BEYOND ENCLAVITY IN AFRICAN ECONOMIES: THE ENDURING WORK OF GUY MHONE
Edited by Patrick Bond for the IDEAs Conference in memory of Guy Mhone: Sustainable Employment Generation in Developing Countries 25-27 January, Nairobi
GUY MHONE (1943-2005) was the leading economist to have worked across post-colonial Southern Africa. His employers included the International Labour Organisation in Lusaka, Harare and Maseru, the Southern African Political Economic Series Trust, the South African Department of Labour, and the University of the Witwatersrand; his heart and labours were largely for the benefit of progressive civil society organisations, especially organised labour. Mhone’s books included The Political Economy of a Dual Labour Market in Africa (1982); Malawi at the Crossroads (edited, 1992); The Case for Sustainable Development in Zimbabwe (coauthored, 1992); and The Informal Sector in Southern Africa (1997).
