| Publisher Description: The economic crisis in the Nigerian economy in 1982 was triggered, though not necessarily caused by, the collapse of the world oil market. The Nigerian state adopted a structural adjustment programme which was approved by the World Bank and the IMF - that decision raised questions about the nature of the crisis and the appropriateness of free market policies in tackling it.
