Academic Robert Beckford visits Ghana to investigate the hidden costs of
rice, chocolate and gold and why, 50 years after independence, a
country so rich in natural resources is one of the poorest in the world.
He discovers child laborers farming cocoa instead of attending school
and asks if the activities of multinationals, the World Bank and
International Monetary Fund have actually made the country’s problems
worse.
