About the Author :
Daniel Teferra is currently teaching economics at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater. He taught economics at Ferris State University for many years. Teferra has written exclusively on the economic development of Ethiopia and the Horn of Africa.

Review :
Professor Daniel Teferra has written a much-needed study of the economy of Ethiopia and a trenchant analysis of the entrepreneurship of the Gurage. Using extensive surveys and interviews conducted in Ethiopia, Teferra finds that the Gurage work peacefully and cooperatively with others while combining a strong work ethic with frugality to produce a unique entrepreneurial attitude. Teferra's history of the Ethiopian economy by region and ethnic group should be required reading for all who aspire to understand contemporary events in the Horn of Africa. Daniel Teferra depicts with unremitting clarity the virtues of traditional values of the Gurage and how a vibrant and resilient group can become a study in economic development. This is a powerful exploration of the process and tragedies of underdevelopment, the complexities of being powerless, and a stimulating as well as fresh look at one of the most enterprising groups of Ethiopia. Teferra is quite impressive in his thoughts, eloquent in his presentation, and purposeful in his aims. It is important for everyone to read.
