Online Gambling and Industrial Learning in Antigua and Barbuda
This paper examines Antigua and Barbuda’s effort to use the online gambling industry to achieve economic diversification. The theoretical justification for doing so is that online gambling is a high-tech industry. Its employees and managers must master advanced communications and computational technology. With that the case, online gambling possesses the potential to become a source of “externalities”—the transferring of the knowledge of how to w…

Guyana’s Great Economic Downswing, 1977–1990: Socio-Economic Impact of Co-operative Socialism, by Ramesh Gampat
During Guyana's "great economic downswing," 1977-90, the output of the country's economy declined by almost one-third (32.3 percent).Ramesh Gampat does not exaggerate when he writes, "anyone old enough to remember the terrible socio-economic conditions in Guyana from around the early 1970s to the mid-1980s will also remember the fear, despair and hopelessness that pervaded the land" (p.18).In examining this economic catastrophe, Gampat has collec…

Patterns of Caribbean Development: An Interpretive Essay on Economic Change
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 yielde…
Democracy, America, and the Age of Globalization
Because political campaigns in the United States are privately funded, America's political system is heavily biased toward the interests of wealthy campaign contributors. As a result, government policies have largely ignored the growth in income inequality caused by technological change and economic globalization. This omission has been tolerated because most Americans do not support interventionist government policies. They believe that the gove…

Callaloo or Tossed Salad: East Indians and the Cultural Politics of Identity in Trinidad
Callaloo or Tossed Salad? is a historical and ethnographic case study of the politics of cultural struggle between two traditionally subordinate ancestral groups in Trinidad, those claiming African and Indian descent. Viranjini Munasinghe argues that East Indians in Trinidad seek to become a legitimate part of the nation by redefining what it means to be Trinidadian, not by changing what it means to be Indian. In her view, Indo-Trinidadians' rece…

Continuity and Change in Guyanese Underdevelopment
Recently in Guyana the government took over the assets of Booker McConnell and Company, Ltd. In Guyanese history, the importance of this development can scarcely be exaggerated. For it was Bookers which owned or controlled the plantations upon which Guyana's monocultural economy rested. With Bookers nationalized, expatriate financial interests have been reduced to virtual insignificance in Guyana. Only branch banks will represent substantial fore…

In this paper an attempt is made to describe the pattern of declining mortality in British Guiana between 1911 and 1960. Specifically we identify the disease-specific mortality rates whose declines contributed most to the overall improvement, we consider the possibility that changing economic circumstances may have contributed to the decline in mortality, and we survey the improvements in public health facilities which occurred during the period.…

The Plantation States as a Sub-Region of the Post-Bellum South
Recent work by Reid, Higgs, Sutch and Ransom and others is an indication that increasing scholarly attention is being addressed to the post-bellum southern economy. The object of this note is to raise a word of caution with respect to work done on the South in which the latter is taken to mean a more or less homogeneous section of the nation. In particular I would suggest that (a) substantial and important variations exist within this region, dif…

More on Self Reliance; Reply to Adrian Foster-Carter
It is good to see the important but relatively neglected issue of self-reliant development getting an airing in MR (jay R. Mandle, "The Politics of Self-Reliant Development," April 1981). Yet Mandle's article, while interesting (and obviously unable to cover everything in a short paper), does, I believe, mis-pose some issues and deal inadequately with others.This article can also be found at the Monthly Review website, where most recent articles …

Population and Economic Change: The Emergence of the Rice Industry in Guyana, 1895-1915
Considered analytically population growth may either have positive or negative influences on economic growth. Population expansion may, by facilitating a widening of markets, allow for economies of scale to be realized and permit the introduction of new industries, or by relieving labor scarcities, facilitate economic expansion. Possible negative implications for economic growth may result however, as Malthus argued, through the mechanism of dimi…

The Politics of Self-Reliant Development
Since the early 1950s the countries of the English-speaking Caribbean have followed a classic pattern of dependent development. Following the recommendations of the Nobel Prize-winning economist W. Arthur Lewis, they have engaged in a policy of "wooing and fawning upon" foreign capitalists in an attempt to attract investment to the region." The effort at industrialization implied in this policy was in fact an advance over the previous British col…

Reply to karl N. Hella
In his interesting contribution, Karl N. Hella writes in this issue that ... . basic premise of Horvat and Mandle articles is wrong. The premise which he objects to is that development can be measured by per capita income. There is, of course, a case to be made here, and a long literature focuses on this definitional issue. But surely for pur? pose of my article, testing of hypothesis that social organization is an independent variable in determi…
