Cadeia de valor, Carro, Incorporação, Regulamentação, GanaResumo
O artigo se baseia em observações etnográficas de comerciantes de carros usados e peças de reposição em Gana para analisar como essas mercadorias são comercializadas nos continentes e como o valor de um carro é moldado por práticas e categorias que descrevo. A posição de Gana nesta cadeia de valor depende das regulamentações forjadas pela aliança entre políticos, comerciantes e mecânicos do setor informal, agora desafiados pelos fabricantes que prometem contribuir para a industrialização do país; e a disponibilidade de mão de obra qualificada e barata. Isso torna viáveis operações impossíveis em outros lugares. Eu suponho que, à medida que estes carros são reavaliados na África Ocidental, eles sustentam o ciclo de produção e a indústria automotiva nos países ricos.
