AJR's Nobel-winning work sparked a wave of persistence studies, yet what doesn’t persist is perhaps more interesting for development successes. My paper examines this in the context of forced labour in Portuguese colonial Africa.

Companhia de Diamantes de Angola relied on forced labour in its diamond mines until 1963, making it arguably colonial Africa's last large-scale employer to do so. My IHR blog post explores why this system persisted and what ultimately led to its demise. #EconHistory #Angola
