A Colonial Economy in Crisis

Challenging conventional views, this book argues that rural populations did not merely abandon self-sufficiency in favor of single commodity production. It explores the complexities of rural economies, examining the socio-economic factors that influenced this transition. Through detailed analysis, the author highlights the nuances of rural life and the implications of these changes on communities and their sustainability. This thought-provoking work invites readers to reconsider established narratives about rural development and economic practices.
