I have argued in my last two columns that all our prime ministers, including Kamla Persad-Bissessar and Dr Keih Rowley, were granted losing economic and political hands, and that Persad-Bissessar has been granted the same kinds of hand in the parliamentary elections of April 28.
I have posited, following Lloyd Best (who I regard as being still relevant as a scholar of economics), that the country is still running an almost pure plantation economy that features excessive dependence on a highly capitalised oil and gas industry operated by international corporations.
