GHANA DISPOSSESSED : 60 YEARS OF DISMANTLING A NATION'S ECONOMIC BASE

Ghana is not a poor country.

It is a country rich in gold, oil, cocoa, timber, minerals, and promise.

So why does the ordinary citizen still struggle?

For over sixty years, critical national assets have changed hands.
Public enterprises have been privatized.
Natural resources have been given out on concession.
Policies have been signed.

But few have stopped to ask what it has meant — not in theory, but in everyday life.

Ghana Dispossessed examines six decades of decisions that reshaped the nation’s ownership of its own resources and properties. Policies that have made the country poorer. Sacrifices that h ave yielded little fruit to the ordinary Ghanaian.

This is not a partisan book.
It is not a book of outrage.

It is a careful, reflective journey through history — asking difficult but necessary questions:

• What was sold?

• Under what circumstances?

• Who benefited?

• What did ordinary citizens gain — or lose?

Through documented history and clear analysis, this book invites readers to understand how a resource-rich nation can struggle with persistent economic hardship.

More importantly, it calls for reflection on stewardship, sovereignty, and the responsibility of leadership.

This is a book for citizens.
For students.
For workers.
For voters.

For anyone who believes that memory matters.

Because before a nation can move forward, it must understand what was left behind.
