Von der Makroökonomie zum Kleinbauern: Die Wandlung der Idee eines gerechten Nord-Süd-Handels in der schweizerischen Dritte-Welt-Bewegung (1964-1984)
The focus of this study is on the role played by the Western third-world movement in the 1970s and 1980s. The African continent’s share of total macroeconomic performance plummeted, and decades of lavish aid assistance payments ended up with Africa’s ill-fated exclusion from world trade. How was it that instead of promoting trade, Africa was given foreign aid? Andrea Franc explores this question

Winterbe…

Dieser Frage geht das Buch anhand der Firmengeschichte der Basler Handelsgesellschaft (BHG) nach. Die BHG war eine wichtige Akteurin in der britischen Kolonie Goldküste, dem späteren Ghana. Die Handelsgesellschaft, 1859 von der Basler Mission als AG gegründet, verschiffte im Jahr…
