Capital and Inequality in Rural Papua New Guinea
Bettina Beer, Tobias Schwoerer
That large-scale capital drives inequality in states like Papua New Guinea is clear enough; how it does so, is less clear. This edited collection presents studies of the local contexts of capital-intensive projects in the mining, oil and gas, and agro-industry sectors in rural and semi-rural parts of Papua New Guinea; it asks what is involved when large-scale capital and its agents begin to become significant nodes in hitherto more local social networks. Its contributors describe the processes initiated by the (planned) presence of extractive industries that tend to reinforce already existing inequalities, or to create and socially entrench novel inequalities.
