Description

Electric Capitalism examines the profound inequalities shaping electricity access across Africa, where industry enjoys abundant cheap power whilst over 80 per cent of the continent's population remains disconnected from the grid. Published by Routledge, this book presents an innovative theoretical framework for understanding how electricity and capitalism intersect on the African continent. Despite Africa's critical dependence on electrical power for economic development, extreme disparities persist in how energy resources are distributed and controlled. The work addresses the unique challenges posed by electric capitalism's uneven implementation across African economies, revealing how colonial legacies and contemporary power structures perpetuate energy inequality. Essential reading for economists, development professionals, and anyone seeking to understand the complex relationship between energy access, economic systems, and social equity in Africa.

Key Features

Offers innovative theoretical framework for analysing electricity and capitalism dynamics across African economies and societies.

Examines pronounced inequalities in power grid access affecting over 80 per cent of Africa's population versus industrial users.

Addresses how electric capitalism's inherent unevenness shapes development and economic disparity across the continent.

Published by Routledge, a leading academic press specialising in economics and development studies.

Provides comprehensive analysis of Africa's under-supplied electricity infrastructure and its economic implications.
