Angola cinco séculos de guerra económica | ANGOLA FIVE CENTURIES OF ECONOMIC WARFARE
"Colonialism and kleptocracy are two permanent regimes of economic warfare. Both aim at the capture of resources based on positions of privilege or strength in centers of power, sustained through repression. Angola endured three centuries of its development as a territory under a slave capture regime. Its formation as an independent country has been marked by the capture of financial resources from the state, both from convertible currency reserves and from structural favoritism in accessing public contracts and commissions for their award."
This book is the first in the research project on Economic Wars conducted by the author.
The second will focus on Brazil in the face of the same issue in the 21st century. The choice of these two countries arises from their connection in creating economies under various forms of violence, as is evident in the present text.
