Essays on the Theory of Plantation Economy: A Historical and Institutional Approach to Caribbean Economic Development
This important book provides a fascinating insight into the conceptual underpinnings of the theory of plantation economy initiated by Lloyd Best and Kari Levitt in the 1960s as a basis for analysing the nature of the Caribbean economy. While acknowledging an intellectual debt to Latin American structuralists and also to the work of Dudley Seers and William Demas, the authors develop an original analytical framework as a counter to more “universalist” models which failed to take account of the Caribbean reality. Their work identifies the main features of the plantation economy as a hinterla... [Read More]
