First published in 1996, this insightful and informative text
examines the post-emancipation and recent economic history of the
Commonwealth Caribbean. Jay R. Mandle offers an explanation of the
region's continuing underdevelopment. Through the use of an
analytical framework derived from the works of Marx and Kuznets,
the book focuses attention on technological change as the driving
force behind economic modernization. Persistent Underdevelopment
begins by exploring how plantation agriculture had a limiting
effect on industrial growth. Ultimately, plantation dominance
receded; technological stagnation continued, however, and, under
British colonial policy the Caribbean failed to modernise. The
post-World War II era brought new efforts at modernisation through
the economic policies of the left regimes of Manley, Burnham and
Bishop. The concluding chapters point the way to policies that
would enable the Caribbean to escape its current poverty and become
an effective participant in world markets, finally achieving the
goal of modern economic development.
First published in 1982, this study attempts to put contemporary
Caribbean development into historical perspective. By first
constructing a Marxist framework for the study of development , Jay
Mandle assesses the reasons why the region emerged underdeveloped
and evaluates post-world-war two efforts to overcome the legacy of
poverty through a strategy of "industrialization through
invitation." Identifying the reasons why a Marxist framework
yielded results which were unsatisfactory, the author then explores
the requirements which must be met for a more reliable study of the
Caribbean's economic development. Case studies of Cuba, Jamaica,
Guyana, Trinidad and Tobago examine the extent to which these
requirements have been met.
