Liberalisation is not enough: structural adjustment and peasants in Guinea‐Bissau
Abstract
After four years of structural adjustment with a considerable injection of funds under International Monetary Fund and World Bank programmes, the benefits have failed to filter out from the capital Bissau to reach the small‐scale rural producers. Instead, the ‘ponteiros’, state officials who have land concessions, swallowed up the credit but generally failed to use it for productive investment. Galli does not contest the need for market liberalisation given the gross distortions that have developed in the economy of Guinea‐Bissau, rather she challenges the assumption that market mechanisms alone can stimulate investment.
