[QUOTE]Originally posted by lamin: [QB] Zarahan, So what is wrong with Nkrumah's model? His government could have gotten basic industrial infrastructure from both China and USSR while bartering tropical agricultural produce. As I said, in the cases of China the embryonic business classes all fled to Taiwan and Hong Kong. So Mao had to start from scratch in terms of establishing and industrial infrastructure. The same with Russia, its embryonic business classes and the remnants of the feudals either fled or were executed. The rest were all sent to the big Siberian Gulag. Nkrumah had instituted the Ghana Institute of Science and Technology which began to produce some very competent graduates. Ghana was on its way when the coup was mounted---Nkrumah was on visit to North Korea[which now has the bomb--proof of a certain level of technological competence. It also builds its ships and armaments--with no outside help]. This was the basis for Nkruhmah' socialism--whoce goal was industrialisation. His Pan-Africanism[ see his Africa Must Unite] had to do with the fact that the small monocultural agricultural nations of Africa just could not industrialise on their own. They had to pool their resources and form regional and continental units--in terms of currencies, trading blocs, etc. Now all this is totally alien to the nonsense Ayitteh writes. Re German development: After the unification of Germany under Bismarck, Germany eventually established the mercantilist principle of "autarky" which meant high tariffs to protect Germany's fledgling industries. The German state was central in all of this. Eventually, Germany surpassed Britain and France in terms of industrial capacity and output. [/QB][/QUOTE]
