Underdevelopment and industrialization in Tanzania :
Rweyemamu, J. F.
Underdevelopment and industrialization in Tanzania : a study of perverse capitalist industrial development / - Nairobi : New York : Oxford University Press, 1973. - xvii, 273 p.
A revision of the author's thesis, Harvard, 1970.
Includes bibliographical references: p. 249-264.
This book attempts to explain underdevelopment in ex-colonial Africa. The central thesis, of the book is that the centre-periphery dependency relationship created by colonisation has rendered the private enterprise system capable of generating self-sustaining growth in the former colonies. The book is divided into three parts.
In Part I, the political economy of Tanzania is examined from a historical perspective to show that whatever development took place in the pre-colonial times was largely generated by forces in the metropolitan world and was essentially geared towards the need of the centre countries.
In Part II, the author discusses the implications of the periphery's dependency on the metropolitan countries and then deduces a set of testable hypotheses concerning the industrial structure of the ex-colony. These hypotheses are subsequently tested using the Tanzanian Survey of Industrial Production, 1966 data supplemented by the author's detailed sample survey of 36 firms. In Part III, the objectives of Tanzanian socialism are discussed and the planning and production relations which may achieve these goals are examined.
