Abstract

This briefing, based on Working Paper 53, analyses the ways in which Ghana鈥檚 current political settlement and the structure of its domestic economy shape the relationship between the state and the business sector. This analysis is used to explain why Ghana鈥檚 sustained growth has occurred without a corresponding transformation of the economy towards more high productivity sectors.
