This lecture delves into the economic structure and social inequalities in the Belgian Congo during colonial times, analyzing the composition of colonial society, the remarkable economy, and the solid unity mentioned by President Kasa-Vubu. The instructor explores the characterization of inequalities between Europeans and Africans, the type of analysis presented by Nzongola-Ntalaja, and the concept of the 'colonial trinity'. Various aspects of the colonial society, such as minerals, energy sources, and geographical regions, are also discussed through slides depicting maps and data related to the Congo's economy and resources.
