ABSTRACT
The previous chapter asserted that economic policies in Ghana during the sixties coincided with many of the leading ideas on development policy then in vogue. The task of this chapter, then, is to set out the economic strategies of successive governments in Ghana and to demonstrate their affinities with the ideas surveyed in chapter 2. The emphasis here, as in the whole book, is on the Nkrumah period, because the drive for development was then at its strongest and policies were at their most ambitious.
