This video is part of our schools series ‘Why isn’t the whole world developed?’, which draws on economic history to understand the effect of colonisation and imperial interventions.

The project is delivered by Discover Economics and the CAGE Research Centre. Please visit https://www.discovereconomics.co.uk/ for further information.
