If we admit that economic power confers political power, then we must admit that monetary power confers political power. In fact, money is at the very heart of modern economies whose movements it controls. Independent Africa, failing to have understood it, or by pretending not to understand it, either by resigning, without reason, in front of its monetary responsibilities, or by using them to feed a repressive administration, whether it is about the year or "technocrats", self-suppressed the economic system and block progress. The international monetary system, cleverly constructed after World War II to organize the drainage of resources from the periphery to the center, collapsed before the legitimate aspirations of the peoples to participate in the improvement of well-being. Its current debacle is only the projection, in reality, of attempts to thwart history. Joseph Tchundjang Pouemi maintains that there are ways of hope and suggests approaches. We cannot blame him for lacking rigor, clarity, and simplicity. Technical details Author: Tchundjang Pouemi Joseph Edition: Menaibuc ISBN: 9782377290680 Paperback: 288 pages
