One of the most startling empirical puzzles in modern political economy is the lack of convergence between the rich and poor countries in terms of per capita income over time. The East Asian countries grew rapidly in recent decades, but Africa stagnated. Why would development not follow, especially when countries in the so-called third world have received both financial and technical assistance from the rich countries of the West? The ‘great divergence’ does not easily fit into the intellectual framework that economists developed after WWII to explain economic growth and development.
