Publisher's Synopsis

How do people survive in an African country where the economy is a disaster? Janet MacGaffey examines the case of Zaire where, according to the published statistics, wages are at starvation level, production is declining, and the infrastructure is falling apart. The center is increasingly held by "system D," the second economy, the activities of which, often illegal, take place outside the official economy.
