ダウンロード Finance in Colonial Zimbabwe: Money, Sanctions and War Economy (Routledge Explorations in Economic History) (English Edition) 本

This book explores late colonial Zimbabwe’s troubled transition from colony to independent state from a financial and economic history perspective. It shows that Zimbabwe’s decolonisation was crucially shaped by financial and economic arrangements. The author naturally considers Rhodesia’s interactions with Britain and the Commonwealth, but also looks at global economic developments, such as the commodity boom of the 1960s and the recessions of the 1970s, showing how these factors allowed the isolated Rhodesian economy to withstand financial crises in spite of United Nations sanctions imposed against it because of its rebellion against Britain. This book will be of interest to researchers in economic and financial history, African economic development and postcolonial studies.
