Extracting Profit: Imperialism, Neoliberalism and the New Scramble for Africa - Paperback

by Lee Wengraf (Author)

Extracting profit explains why Africa, in the first decade and a half of the twenty-first century, has undergone an economic boom. This period of "Africa rising" did not lead to the creation of jobs but has instead fueled the growth of the extraction of natural resources and an increasingly-wealthy African ruling class.
