Book Synopsis The Nigerian Cocoa Industry and the International Economy in the 1930s by : Olisa Muojama
Download or read book The Nigerian Cocoa Industry and the International Economy in the 1930s written by Olisa Muojama and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2018-07-27 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Periodic cycles and waves are characteristics of global capitalism. The contraction in world trade during the Great Depression of the 1930s stands out as the strongest adverse shock to international trade in modern history. This book uses the Nigerian cocoa industry’s encounter with the world economy of the 1930s to knit together a gamut of themes ranging from the social formations of production to the forces of demand and supply, and price fluctuations and stabilization, as well as the protest movements against monopoly capitalism. It examines the Nigerian cocoa industry within the international economy of the inter-war years, in order to demonstrate how the dynamics of the international capitalism of the 1930s such as the Great Depression and the fluctuations in commodity prices affected the cocoa industry and the peasant cocoa producers in colonial Nigeria. It provides an interesting case study of the impact of international capitalism on the periphery economy, as well as the consequences of economic dependence on the external market. This book will be an indispensable resource for historians, economists, anthropologists and the general reader with an interest in the areas of international political economy, depression economics, world commodity trade, and agriculture and its related industries.

Book Synopsis Making of an African Giant by : Dan Mou
Download or read book Making of an African Giant written by Dan Mou and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2015-10-16 with total page 514 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The performance of Nigeria has recently been vehemently criticized as not commensurate with her human and material potentialities. The hope that Nigeria is, by destiny, the African Giant appears to be fading. Some analysts, seeing this, have blamed it on the character defects of the leadership in Nigeria. They argue that because the leaders are predatory and corrupt, they have preoccupied themselves with their interests, which are primitive accumulation and luxurious lifestyles. Meanwhile, the rest of the citizens are suffering. This book argues that such character defects may indeed exist in some of Nigerian leaders. However, these are not the main reasons for their dismal performance regarding the welfare of the citizens. The main problem is that Nigerian leaders seem to have largely lost control over the state and its policies, which appear to have been captured by the dominant classes and groupslocal and international. Nigerias main problem is, therefore, a structural one. Nonetheless, the book concludesas the security, economic, political, and social crises intensifyNigerian leaders, even if it is simply for self-preservation, will be forced by the objective conditions to move against the interests of these dominant classes and groups. It is only then that Nigeria can realistically be restored to the possibility of becoming an African Giant.
Book Synopsis STATE POWER, AGRARIAN POLICIES AND PEASANT WELFARE by : DAN MOU
Download or read book STATE POWER, AGRARIAN POLICIES AND PEASANT WELFARE written by DAN MOU and published by Author House. This book was released on 2014 with total page 447 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book identifies and explains the politico-historical forces that underlie agrarian policies in Nigeria. It also examines the impacts of these policies on different social classes and groups, especially the peasantry. The book focuses specifically on the Agricultural Marketing and Commodity Boards in Nigeria from 1945-1985. These boards are examined as state agencies and actions that have direct implications for different classes and groups. The book reveals that the various social classes and groups contested every step of the agrarian policies, right from their agenda setting to actual implementation. Consequently, the contestations affected drastically the policies and outcomes in such a way that the original goals were lost. "I am very impressed with its theoretical scope, command of extant literature and methodological sophistication. Dr. Mou's book should be of immense interest to a broad range of scholars from political theorists, to political economists as well as African area specialists." - Professor Crawford Young, Department of Political Science, University of Wisconsin - Madison, USA. "Dr. Dan Mou...Thanks for contributing to knowledge. Your book is highly expository and full of discoveries... We are proud of you." S.A. Raofu, Chairman, Committee of Deans, AOCOE, Lagos, Nigeria.
