Banana republic

Banana republic is a political science term for a politically unstable country, whose economy is largely dependent on exporting a limited-resource product, e.g. bananas. It typically has stratified social classes, including a large, impoverished working class and a ruling plutocracy of business, political, and military elites.〔 (P. 95 ). ISBN 0-060-91145-X; ISBN 978-0-06091-145-4.〕 This politico-economic oligarchy controls the primary-sector productions to exploit the country's economy.
==Origin==
American writer O. Henry (William Sydney Porter 1862–1910) coined "banana republic" to describe the fictional Republic of Anchuria in the book ''Cabbages and Kings'' (1904), a collection of thematically related short stories inspired by his experiences in Honduras between 1896 and 1897, when he was wanted in the United States for bank embezzlement.〔(''Occurrences'' ) on Google Books.〕〔 ("While he was in Honduras, Porter coined the term 'banana republic'" ).〕 In political science, the term ''banana republic'' is a pejorative descriptor for a servile dictatorship that abets or supports, for kickbacks, the exploitation of large-scale plantation agriculture, especially banana cultivation.〔 In economics, a banana republic is a country operated as a commercial enterprise for private profit, effected by a collusion between the State and favoured monopolies, in which the profit derived from the private exploitation of public lands is private property, while the debts incurred thereby are a public responsibility. Such an imbalanced economy remains limited by the uneven economic development of town and country, and tends to cause the national currency to become devalued paper-money, rendering the country ineligible for international-development credit.
