This is a study of the changing rules and relationships within which natural, human and man-made resources were mobilized for production during the development of an agricultural export economy in Asante, a major West African kingdom which became, by 1945, the biggest regional contributor to Ghana's status as the world's largest cocoa producer. The period 1807-1956 as a whole was distinguished in Asante history by relatively favorable political conditions for indigenous as well as (during colonial rule) for foreign private enterprise. It saw generally increasing external demands for products...

Labour-Intensive Industrialization in Global History
ISBN: 9781138901148 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 314 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The prevailing view of industrialization has focussed on technology, capital, entrepreneurship and the institutions that enabled them to be deployed. Labour was often equated with other factors of production, and assigned a relatively passive role. Yet it was labour absorption and the improvement of the quality of labour over the course of several centuries that underscored the timing, pace and quality of global industrialization. While science and technology developed in the West and whereas the use of fossil fuels, especially coal and oil, were vital to this process, the more recent...

ISBN: 9780415455527 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 314 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This volume calls for a major rethinking of our understanding of industrialization for global history, by bringing the East Asian experience of labour-intensive' industrialization into focus and, thereby, reinterpreting both the western experience of capital-intensive' industrialization and the equally distinctive experiences of countries in other regions of Asia and in Africa and Latin America. We argue that the absorption of labour into labour-intensive' industries, both traditional and modern, and the improvement of the quality of labour formed a central mechanism of global diffusion of...
