Cocoa and Chocolate,1765-1914 focuses on the period from the Seven
Years War, to the First World War, when a surge of economic
liberalism and globalisation should have helped cocoa producers to
overcome rural poverty, just as wool transformed the economy of
Australia, and tea that of Japan. The addition of new forms of
chocolate to Western diets in the late nineteenth century led to a
great cocoa boom, and yet economic development remained elusive,
despite cocoa producers having certain advantages in the commodity
lottery faced by exporters of raw materials. The commodity chain,
from sowing a cocoa bean to enjoying a cup of hot chocolate, is
examined in Cocoa and Chocolate, 1765-1914 under the broad rubrics
of chocolate consumption, the taxation of cocoa beans, the
manufacture of chocolate, private marketing channels, land
distribution, ecological impact on tropical forests, and the
coercion of labour. Cocoa and Chocolate, 1765-1914 concludes that
cocoa failed to act as a dynamo for development.
