Rich in raw materials, subject to development programs then to wild privatization imposed by the World Bank, Togo is the hostage of networks plundering natural resources. This book discloses the main mecanisms and the foreign influences which contribute to ruin the economic and social balance of a young nation. It also turns into pieces the neocolonial myth of an economic stagnation being the responsability of Africans themselves.
