The Great Arch: English State Formation as Cultural Revolution
The Renewed Search for Social Trusteeship: Cohen and Fitch on Social Justice and the City
It has become a commonplace to argue that in the face of a discredited Marxism, socialism must find an alternative basis for a renewed project. This article investigates two of these claims by Gerald Cohen and Bob Fitch. It does so with particular reference to the attempt by these authors to re-invoke, both wittingly and unwittingly, David Ricardo, John Stuart Mill, Henry George, and Auguste Comte among others as the source of a renewed left proj…
Agrarian doctrines of development: Part II

British Neo‐Hegelian Idealism and official colonial practice in Africa: The Oluwa Land case of 1921
Finance capital and peasants in Colonial West Africa: A reply to August Gächter
Bankers, peasants, and land in British West Africa 1905-37

It has also been argued by historians that European bankers in Africa deliberately discriminated against rural African credit seekers. In this article we argue that, over a period of three decades, British bankers attempted to create lending facilities which were to be directly aim…

More specifically, it is an examination of the exploitation and differentiation of the Hausa peasantry of northern Nigeria under British colonial rule. The paper commences with a brief review of the relevant literature and then proceeds to trace the interaction of merchant capital and peasant society and its effects on the development of the prima…
