This edited volume examines the post-independence growth and development of the Guyanese economy. It provides fresh perspectives and new ways to apply economic and development theories to small, open economies like Guyana. Building on diverse methodological approaches, economists and social scientists present key findings alongside novel approaches for understanding the country's challenges. By incorporating the latest research, this book equips readers with forward-thinking strategies to strengthen policy design and foster more effective analysis within Guyana's political and economic systems.
