This splendid book highlights the great achievements of Tanzania in the last decade. Market-led development and economic liberalisation have led to continously rising real incomes, with the rate of growth accelerating. Not only that, but most sections of society have benefited, and the percentage of the population in poverty has fallen-in stark contrast to most of the rest of Africa, where it has risen. And all this has been done within the context of Tanzania's firm ideological commitment to a fair and just society.Problems still remain.
