This book challenges the Western interpretation that poor
governance under President Mugabe is the sole cause of the
Zimbabwean crisis. Inherited and highly unequal colonial
structures, particularly as applied to land, and the impoverishing
impact of an IMF and World Bank conditionally sponsored Structural
Adjustment Program [SAP] are
considered primarily responsible. Previously, the Government
managed to balance the peasant capitalist order without
comprehensive land redistribution through state controls on prices,
wages, finance and trade. Economic liberalization under the SAP,
however, exposed the failure of a skewed market to meet majority
basic needs, which underpins the current chaos over land. Instead
of isolating the country, Western states should help Zimbabwe
resolve the land question, which is more likely to secure a
democratic and prosperous future.
