Summary

This concluding chapter begins with comparisons between Liberia and Ghana made on the occasion of Ghana’s independence in 1957. It then uses Liberia’s economic history to reassess conclusions about the impact of formal and informal colonialism on economic development, and draws out lessons from Liberia’s history for our understanding of postindependence developments in the rest of Africa.
