      Examining Namibia's economic landscape since 1900, this book delves into the historical and political factors shaping its reliance on raw materials and the service sector. It investigates the stagnation of the manufacturing sector, contrasting it with the industrial development seen in other high-income nations. The analysis highlights the influence of power dynamics, both internationally and domestically, that have perpetuated the status quo and obstructed meaningful economic transformation. This comprehensive study encompasses both colonial and post-independence contexts, offering a unique perspective on Namibia's economic evolution.
