      abstract = {This book critically assesses the impact of Ethiopia's  policy of Agriculture Development Led Industrialization.  Employing qualitative and quantitative analysis, it  presents empirical evidence suggesting persistent economic  growth. The research highlights improvements in  infrastructure, health care, education, poverty alleviation  as well reductions in infant mortality rate. The impact of  this economic growth has however had led to only slight  improvements in the plight of the poor. The author argues  that, while significant steps have been achieved with  measurable economic gains, there are still undeniable  obstacles within the federal system: prevailing  patron-client relationships, constraints on state capacity  to efficiently and effectively implement policy, and  bureaucratic rent-seeking in the provision of public goods.  The author concludes that these problems will have to be  resolved before Ethiopia's political economy can achieve  the stage of sustainable development.--},
