1. Agbogbloshie: Ghana's 'trash world' may be an eyesore - but it's no dump
   Resource Type: Article
   First Published: 2015
   Most accounts of Agbogbloshie, the e-waste site in Accra, Ghana, persistently miss the point. Far from being a simple 'dump' for the world's trash, it is a huge recycling operation that pays for the wastes it receives, employs thousands of young men who would otherwise lack jobs, and plays a huge role in the national and global economy.
2. ARIPO Protocol is a tool for foreign takeover of Ghana's agriculture
   Resource Type: Article
   First Published: 2015
   Ghanaian citizens have so far prevented the passage of the Plant Breeders Bill, a UPOV-91-compliant law that would strip Ghanaian farmers of their rights to their own seeds. But there is worse coming from the African Regional Intellectual Property Association (ARIPO). To Ghana’s great credit, and despite determination and pressure from the G7, USAID and its contractors, despite the willing and enthusiastic cooperation of Ghana’s ministers, Attorney General, and both major political parties, Ghana has refused to pass a farmer destroying, sovereignty busting, UPOV law.

   Resource Type: Article
   First Published: 2014
   Ghana's government is desperate to pass a Plant Breeders Bill that would remove farmers' ancient 'seed freedom' to grow, retain, breed and develop crop varieties - while giving corporate breeders a blanket exemption from seed regulations. But the farmers are fighting back.
6. Ghana's women farmers resist the G7 plan to grab Africa's seeds
   Resource Type: Article
   First Published: 2015
   Sharing and saving seed is a crucial part of traditional farming all over Africa. Governments, backed by multinational seed companies, are imposing oppressive seed laws that attack the continent's main food producers and open the way to industrial agribusiness.
7. The IMF and Ghana
   The Confidential Record
   Resource Type: Book
   First Published: 1989
   This book offers a carefully organized selection of documents of a type which are rarely published for public scrutiny, including IMF and World Bank reports, minutes of debt rescheduling conferences, and a variety of the government's own memoranda and decisions. The author shows why the IMF set out to destroy Ghana's development plans and how the IMF-prescribed austerity programme of 1966 led to a stagnation from which the country has still not recovered.
8. Killing Hope 
   U.S. Military and CIA Interventions Since World War II
   Resource Type: Book
   First Published: 2008
   Is the United States a force for democracy? William Blum serves up a forensic overview of U.S. foreign policy spanning sixty years. For those who want the details on the U.S.'s most famous actions (Chile, Cuba, Vietnam, to name a few), and for those who want to learn about lesser-known efforts (France, China, Bolivia, Brazil, for example), this book provides a window on what U.S. foreign policy goals really are. "If you flip over the rock of American foreign policy of the past century, this is what crawls out… invasions … bombings … overthrowing governments … occupations … suppressing movements for social change … assassinating political leaders … perverting elections … manipulating labor unions … manufacturing “news” … death squads … torture … biological warfare … depleted uranium … drug trafficking … mercenaries … It’s not a pretty picture. It’s enough to give imperialism a bad name."

15. Testimony of David U. Himmelstein, M.D. before the HELP Subcommittee
    Resource Type: Article
    First Published: 2009
    A single-payer reform would make care affordable through vast savings on bureaucracy and profits. As my colleagues and I have shown in research published in the New England Journal of Medicine, administration consumes 31 percent of health spending in the United States, nearly double what Canada spends. In other words, if we cut our bureaucratic costs to Canadian levels, we'd save nearly $400 billion annually - more than enough to cover the uninsured and to eliminate co-payments and deductibles for all Americans.
