“Kenneth Omeje has produced a magisterial work on Africa’s development. This book, with its unique blend of sophisticated theories of development and practice, has focused our attention with much detailed insights into some of the major problems of economic and political transformation facing the African continent. It is compulsory reading for anyone interested in economic and social transformation in Africa.”
“
The Failure and Feasibility of Capitalism in Africa offers a wide ranging and comprehensive tour d’horizon of the continent’s historical development. Deeply critical of the ‘Africa Rising’ narrative, Kenneth Omeje provides a compelling account of the forms, trajectories and failures of capitalist development while offering up a clear-eyed assessment of the prospects of turning around Africa’s current predicaments. An urgent and provocative contribution.”
