Focus on the Ethiopian Economy
6th April 2017
I said at the Grade Booster revision event in Birmingham last week that, in my opinion, Ethiopia is one of the most interesting economies on the planet to study from an A level Economics perspective. There are many different angles to consider, not least Ethiopia's growth and development path and her relationships with China and other nations. Here is a curated list of stories and links to analysis on Ethiopia drawn from twitter in recent months.
