CORRUPTION, OLD BOYS, MASKS OF DECEIT--Commodity Power and Debt Dependence in Ghana since 1957
Cocoa, Gold, Diamonds, Trade and the Politics of External Finance
About
About the Book
This monograph is a semi -socio- economic political study of Ghana during its heydays when the unit of currency was equal to the pound sterling. The author visited Ghana where his parents were stationed as UN diplomatic staff. Having observed the "Hi Life" in the expatriate community and mingling with top echelons and diplomatic families, he now observes the past through the rear mirror. Using Statistical and Economic indicators, the decline of Ghana is paralled in some places with a similar decline of public sector industries in India ( described in a parallel book). The parallels are cautiously linked through social and economic indicaators, knowing that empirical indicators are difficult to apply to intangibles like goodwill, branding, corruption and networks.Any errors should be pointed out to the author for which he would be obliged.
