The growth of gold as an increasingly important and diverse source of African wealth is examined, alongside the impact that the rise of China in the 21st century has had on the demand for gold. The volatility of the gold price has increased as a result of the dramatic decline of gold demand for manufacturing purposes. Gold is Africas second largest export after oil and is a perfect metaphor for a continent rich in resources while so much of its population lives in such dire poverty. The artisanal and small scale gold mining (ASGM) sector, is surprisingly widely perceived as being beneficial to the development of Africa despite its exploitation and dreadful health and environmental consequences. African Gold: Production, Trade and Economic Development considers policy issues regarding the gold mining sector, the economics of beneficiation, the retreat of jewelry manufacturing across the continent as well as Africas golden future. It is a relevant book for both academics and policymakers interested in Africa, natural resource, and development economics. 001435027 650_0 $$aGold mines and mining$$zAfrica. 001435027 650_0 $$aGold industry$$zAfrica. 001435027 650_6 $$aOr$$xMines et extraction$$zAfrique. 001435027 650_6 $$aOr$$xIndustrie$$zAfrique. 001435027 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001435027 7001_ $$aSingogo, Fwasa K. 001435027 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aGrynberg, Roman.$$tAfrican gold.$$dCham : Palgrave Macmillan, 2021$$z3030659941$$z9783030659943$$w(OCoLC)1222894333 001435027 852__ $$bebk 001435027 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-65995-0$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001435027 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1435027$$pGLOBAL_SET 001435027 980__ $$aBIB 001435027 980__ $$aEBOOK 001435027 982__ $$aEbook 001435027 983__ $$aOnline 001435027 994__ $$a92$$bISE
