1. 1. Tropical Gangsters

   One Man's Experience with Development and Decadence in Deepest Africa

   

   "Tropical Gangsters" is an engaging memoir by an economist who recounts his experiences working in Equatorial Guinea as a consultant for the World Bank in the 1980s. The book offers an insightful look into the challenges of international development and economic reform in a country plagued by corruption and mismanagement. Through vivid storytelling, the author illustrates the complexities of advising a government where vested interests and systemic corruption stifle progress and reform. The narrative not only exposes the difficulties of implementing economic policies in such environments but also reflects on the broader implications for development work in similar contexts around the world.
