What was this growth miracle between 1960 and 1975?
George, Thanks for commenting. I think he was speaking of the import substitution model, which was the policy post-colonial Africa, esp. Togo.

Rodrik (1999) has observed that if one counts the number of countries experiencing rapid growth, the years 1960-73 define the golden period of growth for developing countries. Per-capita incomes in as many as 30 countries grew annually at rates equaling or exceeding 3 percent during this period. In comparison, growth rates plummeted in most developing countries during 1973-84 and 1984-94. Noting that 1960-73 was the period of import-substitution industrialization (ISI) and 1984-94 that of liberalization, Rodrik concludes that this suggests the triumph of ISI.
