摘要：

Two development narratives about Africa cry out for rectification. One is the ''Except-Africa'' narrative talked about when the techno-managerial elites conclude, ''Development works...except in Africa.'' The otter is the elites' neo-Mathusian Doomsday Scenario for countries in Except-Africa. Both development narratives are factually incorrect and do an extremely poor job of stabilizing decision making in heterogeneous and changing African settings. Counternarratives are needed and some are suggested.
