For much of the last decade I've spent reading and writing about African economic history. Although my research focus has mostly been on the southern tip of the continent, I've thoroughly enjoyed becoming part of a larger 'renaissance' of scholars that have pushed for a better understanding of the fluctuating fortunes of Africa's economic past. Economic historians, I strongly believe, are the best people – and almost certainly the nicest economists. I've made friends across the globe. Wherever I have traveled, from Harare to Harvard, I've received kind welcomes and friendly audiences, interested in the ideas I have to offer.
