Review
“Analyzes the process of capitalist development in Nigeria over the past two decades under military rule. Describes the form of capitalism in Nigeria and considers Nigerian dependence on foreign capital and technology. Examines the military government's capital accumulation program, its restructuring of property rights, and macroeconomic policies. Nigeria's trade relationships and the role of oil surpluses in Nigerian development are also studied. Ohiorhenuan is a senior lecturer in the Department of Economics at the University of Ibadan, Nigeria.”–
Book Description
Since achieving independence in 1960, Nigeria has suffered through a civil war, the overthrow of elected governments in repeated military coups, and severe economic crises. This study looks at the country's economic development under these conditions and in light of Nigeria's status as a Third World nation with an economy largely dependent on foreign capital and international markets. Focusing on state economic policy, Ohiorhenuan assesses Nigeria's development as a dependent capitalist economy under military rule and identifies both the factors that promote this type of development and those that constrain it.
