Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the economic potential of Britain's tropical empire in the wake of the First World War, focusing on how to develop its resources to pay off war debts. The author argues that the key to unlocking this potential lies in increasing the supply of skilled and unskilled labor in the tropics, while simultaneously expanding the British Empire's presence in Latin America. This book advocates for the establishment of agricultural colleges in the tropics and other policies to increase the labor force, arguing that these investments will yield significant returns in the form of increased production and tax revenue. It also explores the potential for developing new tropical industries, such as palm oil and coconuts. Ultimately, this book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of British imperialism, tropical agriculture, and the economic challenges facing the world after the First World War.
