Abstract
For the preceding three decades to 1974 Mauritius and Jamaica shared a roughly similar GDP per capita. During the subsequent decades, to the present, they have diverged beyond almost recognition. Why did they diverge to such an extreme extent? Why did Mauritius prosper? And, why did Jamaica stagnate?
