History teaches us that agricultural growth and development is necessary for achieving overall better living conditions in all societies. Although this process may seem homogenous when looked at from the outside, it is full of diversity within. This book captures this diversity by presenting eleven independent case studies ranging over time and space. By comparing outcomes, attempts are made to draw general conclusion and lessons about the agricultural transformation process.

Together with Mauritius, Botswana is often categorized as one of two growth miracles in sub-Saharan Africa. Due to its spectacular long-run economic performance and impressive social development, it has been termed both an economic success story and a developmental state. While there is uniqueness in the Botswana experience, several aspects of the country’s opportunities and challenges are of a more general nature. Throughout its history, Botswana has been both blessed and hindered by its natural resource abundance and dependency, which have influenced growth periods, opportunities for economic diversification, strategies for sustainable economic and social development, and the distribution of incomes and opportunities.Through a political economy framework, Hillbom and Bolt provide an updated understanding of an African success story, covering the period from the mid-19th century, when the Tswana groups settled, to the present day. Understanding the interaction over time between geography and factor endowments on the one hand, and the development of economic and political institutions on the other, offers principle lessons from Botswana’s experience to other natural resource rich developing countries.

Boken är ett unikt nationellt projekt genom dess representation av författare från samtliga svenska lärosäten som undervisar i ekonomisk historia på alla utbildningsnivåer. Bokens 25 författare är också aktiva forskare och bidragen bygger på en stor samlad erfarenhet av aktuell svensk och internationell forskning inom ämnet.Vad är ekonomisk historia? är en introducerande lärobok i ekonomisk historia som syftar till att väcka nyfikenhet för ämnet, samt visa på dess möjligheter som akademisk disciplin och tillämpad samhällsvetenskap. Boken visar hur ekonomisk-historiska perspektiv, teorier och metoder kan användas för att analysera olika utvecklingsförlopp med avgörande betydelse för samhällsutvecklingen då som nu.Genom att använda olika verktyg ur de historiska och ekonomiska verktygslådorna vänder och vrider forskare inom ekonomisk historia på begrepp som tillväxt, industrialisering, resursfördelning, kapital och arbete. På detta sätt bidrar ämnet till vår förståelse av mänsklighetens långa historia, samtidigt som det också bidrar med nya perspektiv på vår egen samtid.Vad är ekonomisk historia? består av 13 kapitel, de tre första kapitlen behandlar ämnets historia, teorier och metoder. De därpå följande kapitlen lyfter ett urval av de frågor som ekonomhistoriker arbetar med. Boken vänder sig främst till universitets- och högskolestudenter på grundläggande nivå och fungerar utmärkt som en introduktion till ämnet.
