Five Decisive Events in the Economic History of Haiti

The present chapter deals with the historical reasons why Haiti is caught in what appears to be a secular economic decline, which in all probability has been going on for at least a century.1 There is a strong case for approaching Haiti’s economic plight from a historical standpoint. The chapter singles out what I believe to be the five most decisive events in Haiti’s economic history so as to reconstruct an interrelated series of historical phenomena which explain the country’s current economic disaster
