I have to now pause midway through your article to find a better description of the Cowrie trade, as well as a chronological description of Portuguese and British monetary and fiscal policies of the time.
So as to overlay the counter-inflation policies you describe of Kano governments, especially the Hausa and match it chronologically with the monetary policies of first the Portuguese emperium (which maintained the monetary policies of the Holy Catholic Empire) and then the British Shilling area policies intentionally designed for colonialism by Newton.
Hope to gain insight on how much additional effect on targetted economies those policies of Newtons may have had as compared to the Portuguese policies.
Your chronology here and your references allow me to do that.
Excellent read
