	Overview of the Sierra Leone Economy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Until it was beset by rebel war in 1991, Sierra Leone was one of the most stable countries in the West African sub-region.
		As Sierra Leoneans and other interested parties anxiously wait for peace and stability in Sierra Leone, it is clear that the country has an enormous task of economic reconstruction and revitalization ahead.
		But the real light at the end of the tunnel is perhaps going to be the courage, determination, and commitment of Sierra Leoneans to rebuild their lives and their nation from the ashes and wreckage left in the aftermath of ten years of unimaginable attrocities and destruction.

		While her film does focus on the role music has played in the country's recovery — there's a vibrant hip-hop scene in the capital city of Freetown, highlighted by artists like Daddy Saj and Jimmy B — it's more concerned with the implications that came with the genre's bling obsession.
		She decided to call the film "Bling: A Planet Rock," because the insatiable thirst for diamonds was indirectly affecting the war in Sierra Leone.

		This angry book argues that the World Bank and the IMF misdiagnosed the development problems of Sierra Leone, imposed ideologically motivated and misdirected policy prescriptions, then blamed the victims for the poor results instead of admitting their own share of responsibility.
		Unlike some polemics against lender-imposed structural adjustment programs in Africa, this one is by a competent economist, and it takes a close-up look at evidence drawn from one country over an extended period.
		Among the author's findings: factors in the world economy external to Sierra Leone are the principal source of the country's decline, not domestic mismanagement; Sierra Leone's post-independence economy did not have an urban bias; its currency was not particularly overvalued, nor was its agricultural pricing particularly wrong.
