Download or read book FCFA Face Cach e de la Finance Africaine written by Cheickna Bounajim Cissé and published by . This book was released on 2019-01-18 with total page 454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La question du franc CFA (pour mieux dire des francs CFA), utilisé par 14 pays africains, est sensible, et même ultra-sensible. Elle a même un penchant corrosif. Qui s'y frotte, s'y pique !, mettent en garde plusieurs observateurs. Ils ont tort d'avoir raison. La monnaie septuagénaire ne peut être dispensée de critiques dès lors qu'elle ne fut pas soustraite de l'existence. Défendue par les cfiles cloués au prisme scientifique et académique, et pourfendue par les cfobes cloutés par l'idéologie dogmatique et utopique, elle polarise l'attention. Elle est de nouveau sous les feux des projecteurs. De la place de l'Obélisque à Dakar aux ruelles fumantes de Poto-Poto à Brazzaville, de la lagune Ébrié en Côte-d'Ivoire au centre-ville bouillant de Douala, l'odeur de la colère des jeunes Africains, abusés et désabusés au-dedans, chassés et pourchassés au-dehors, ne cesse de fumer et d'enfumer l'antre de la zone franc. Dans ce marmitage médiatique et numismatique, il y a trop de spéculations et d'approximations. Bien souvent, ceux qui en parlent en savent peu; et ceux qui savent en disent le moins possible. Entre les pro-CFA et les anti-CFA, il y a la vie de 164 millions d'Africains qui mérite le plus grand soin. Le franc CFA est-il la face cachée de la finance africaine ? Cet ouvrage se propose de lever un coin de voile sur cette ancienne monnaie coloniale qui a survécu à la décolonisation du continent. Sans faux-fuyant et avec des éléments factuels, l'auteur vous livre toute la vérité sur le franc CFA, des raisons de la réticence de la France à mettre fin à la tutelle monétaire, au refus des dirigeants africains de construire leur souveraineté monétaire . Depuis 26 ans, il égrène le chapelet des significations possibles de l'acronyme CFA: Crime Français en Afrique, Convoitise Française en Afrique, Cause de la Faillite de l'Afrique, Curiosité Financière de l'Afrique, Confort Financier pour l'Afrique, Colère Fumante de l'Afrique... pour finalement s'interroger

Download or read book The African Poor written by John Iliffe and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1987-12-25 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This history of the poor of Sub-Saharan Africa begins in the monasteries of thirteenth-century Ethiopia and ends in the South African resettlement sites of the 1980s. Its thesis, derived from histories of poverty in Europe, is that most very poor Africans have been individuals incapacitated for labour, bereft of support, and unable to fend for themselves in a land-rich economy. There has emerged the distinct poverty of those excluded from access to productive resources. Natural disaster brought widespread destitution, but as a cause of mass mortality it was almost eliminated in the colonial era, to return to those areas where drought has been compounded by administrative breakdown. Professor Iliffe investigates what it was like to be poor, how the poor sought to help themselves, how their counterparts in other continents live. The poor live as people, rather than merely parading as statistics. Famines have alerted the world to African poverty, but the problem itself is ancient. Its prevailing forms will not be understood until those of earlier periods are revealed and trends of change are identified. This is a book for all concerned with the future of Africa, as well as for students of poverty elsewhere.

Download or read book Ponzi s Scheme written by Mitchell Zuckoff and published by Random House Trade Paperbacks. This book was released on 2006-01-10 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It was a time when anything seemed possible–instant wealth, glittering fame, fabulous luxury–and for a run of magical weeks in the spring and summer of 1920, Charles Ponzi made it all come true. Promising to double investors’ money in three months, the dapper, charming Ponzi raised the “rob Peter to pay Paul” scam to an art form. At the peak of his success, Ponzi was raking in more than $2 million a week at his office in downtown Boston. Then his house of cards came crashing down–thanks in large part to the relentless investigative reporting of Richard Grozier’s Boston Post. A classic American tale of immigrant life and the dream of success, Ponzi’s Scheme is the amazing story of the magnetic scoundrel who launched the most successful scheme of financial alchemy in modern history.

Download or read book The Impact of Population Growth on Well being in Developing Countries written by Dennis A. Ahlburg and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-14 with total page 363 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the nature and significance of the impact of population growth on the weIl-being of developing countries-in particular, the effects on economic growth, education, health, food supply, housing, poverty, and the environment. In addition, because family planning programmes often significantly affect population growth, the study examines the impacts of family planning on fertility and health, and the human rights implications of family planning programmes. In considering the book's conclusions about the impact of population growth on development, four caveats should be noted. First, the effects of population growth vary from place to place and over time. Thus, blanket statements about overall effects often cannot be made. Where possible, the authors note the contexts in which population effects are strongest and weakest. Second, all of the outcomes examined in this book are influenced by factors other than population growth. Moreover, the impact of population growth may itself vary according to the presence or absence of other factors. This again makes bl anket statements about the effects of population growth difficult. Throughout the chapters, the authors try to identify other relevant factors that influence the outcomes we discuss or that influence the impact of population growth on those outcomes.

Download or read book Anthropology and Development written by Jean-Pierre Oliver De-Sardan and published by Zed Books Ltd.. This book was released on 2013-07-18 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book re-establishes the relevance of mainstream anthropological (and sociological) approaches to development processes and simultaneously recognizes that contemporary development ought to be anthropology‘s principal area of study. Professor de Sardan argues for a socio-anthropology of change and development that is a deeply empirical, multidimensional, diachronic study of social groups and their interactions. The Introduction provides a thought-provoking examination of the principal new approaches that have emerged in the discipline during the 1990s. Part I then makes clear the complexity of social change and development, and the ways in which socio-anthropology can measure up to the challenge of this complexity. Part II looks more closely at some of the leading variables involved in the development process, including relations of production; the logics of social action; the nature of knowledge; forms of mediation; and ‘political‘ strategies.
