| description | The paper is aimed at finding out the applicability of Wagner’s law in Zimbabwe. A thorough background of Zimbabwe’s economy between 1960 to 2009 was given. Relevant literature relating Wagner’s law was given in which it was established that literature relating to Zimbabwe was scarce hence the need to carry out this study.
