cquilt-19314	Silberberg, Monica	The Jamaican Bauxite Industry & Decolonization	2013	15	.pdf	application/pdf	5129	215	40	Given the superior power of MNCs to control capital flows and exploit markets in the international arena, it is unrealistic to suppose that Jamaica would have easily developed an independent competitive aluminum industry.24 It can be argued that MNCs have provided capital, expertise, and markets for the exploitation of Jamaican bauxite more efficiently than could an independent effort by the Jamaican government or private Jamaican entrepreneurs. Based on the data for 1950-1967, it was calculated that a lack of forward linkages resulted in 95% of the gross value generated from Jamaican bauxite being accrued abroad rather than domestically.40 The wages received by bauxite workers in Jamaica did not compare to their counterparts in metropolitan countries, yet they were still substantially higher than in other sectors of the Jamaican economy.	cache/cquilt-19314.pdf	txt/cquilt-19314.txt
