This article attempts an assessment of entrepreneurial contributions to the solution of some of the objectives of central economic development planning-contributions which are ignored by planners for reasons that are described in this social anthropological study of one aspect of economic development in Ghana. The author wishes to express his gratitude to the Managers of the Smuts' Memorial Fund for providing much of his financial backing during field-work; also to the Ling Roth fund, the Anthony Wilkin fund, the Bartle Frere Fund, the Mary Euphrasia Mosley fund, the West African Research Unit, and the Warmington fund. He held a Department of Education and Science studentship during the years 1965-68. The author also wishes to thank Jack Goody, Esther Goody, Enid Schild-Krout and Jeremy Eades for discussing a preliminary draft of this paper; and Marion Pearsall for comments on later versions; Richard Cornes and Mike Faber have also been most helpful. Responsibility for the final draft is entirely his own
