This analysis on the Banana Industry clearly shows the reader why the banana industry failed in Dominica. The writer give factors that cause the industry to somewhat banish. These factors include; technology, migration, exodus of banana farmers from the plantations, demographic trends and capital investment,world political and economic dynamics.

- Site Designed and Built by Hydrant (http://www.hydrant.co.uk). “Dominica.” Dominica | The Commonwealth. ComSec Access, n.d. Web. 14 Mar. 2017.
This website entitled “The Commonwealth”, is comprised of information about all the fifty-two member countries of the commonwealth. I have decided to use it not only because Dominica is a member of the commonwealth, but also because the site contains information regarding the society, economy, constitution and politics of Dominica, as well as information about its history and travel. The site discussed areas in the economy such as the Gross Domestic Production Growth and inflation, and illustrated how the Real Growth in GDP decreased drastically from 2007 to 2011, and how the inflation rate was the lowest in 2009. I anticipate that this website will assist me in answering my second and fourth question.
- Sandra W. Meditz and Dennis M. Hanratty, editors. Caribbean Islands: A Country Study. Washington: GPO for the Library of Congress, 1987.
“Caribbean Islands: A Country Study”, is a book which contains information about the economies, governments and politics, education and more, of various Caribbean Countries. The information on Dominica is very detailed and comprehensive. Not only do I intend on using the information on the country’s microeconomic view, banking and finance, foreign trade and balance of payments to answer the third question in my inquiry, but also to compare it with that of other Caribbean countries, and analyse whether the minimum-wage rate is low as a result of internal economic factors in Dominica, or is it because of universal economic problems.
- Government of the Commonwealth of Dominica Web Portal. N.p., n.d. Web. 14 Mar. 2017.
Whenever a law or policy is passed in a country, there will always be consequences. Some of them affect our social life, but how does some of these laws affect our economy? If a law is passed which increases the minimum wage rate does this mean that the quality of life or standard of living will increase likewise? This source will allow me to generate various laws and policies that were passed in Dominica, which will enable me to contrast and compare the changes that these laws caused in the economy. This will come into play in questions two and five of my inquiry.
- Pettinger, Tejvan. “The Relationship between Economics and Politics.” Economics Help. N.p., n.d. Web. 14 Mar. 2017.
In this article, the basic composition of economics and politics were examined. Pettinger analytical looked at the symbiotic relations between the two, and almost made it look like a ‘you can’t have one without the other’, type of situation. He also looked at topics such as: economics needs political support, who owns the economy?- politicians or economist, and lastly microeconomics- free of politics?
- Staff, Investopedia. “Minimum Wage.” Investopedia. N.p., 29 July 2015. Web. 14 Mar. 2017.
This article basically deals with the concept of minimum wage. Not only does it illustrate how minimum wage is determined or calculated, but also the many issues that arise in it and what determines its figure. The article also compared the minimum wage rate with that of various developed countries, and also discussed topics on: wage push inflation, the economics of minimum wage, justified wage and demand for labour. This source will indeed be used to bolster question five in my inquiry.
