Description

First published in 1986, this influential work by Routledge challenges conventional underdevelopment analyses of Africa's economic trajectory and future potential. Drawing on extensive historical research, the book argues that capitalism's impact has driven economic progress and raised living standards across the continent. Rather than adopting dependency theory frameworks, the authors emphasise the significant political and economic differences among developing nations, demanding nuanced analysis of each country's unique experience. The work examines the emergence of capitalist social structures since 1900, providing critical perspective on how African economies have integrated into global markets. Essential reading for students and scholars studying economic development policy, historical economics, and Africa's role in modern capitalism.

Key Features

Published by Routledge in 1986, offering a retrospective analysis of capitalist development across Africa over nearly a century.

Challenges dependency theory approaches by arguing that capitalism generated economic progress and improved living standards in African nations.

Examines the emergence of capitalist social relations since 1900 with detailed historical evidence from diverse African contexts.

Emphasises political and economic differences between developing countries rather than treating Africa as a monolithic entity.

Provides critical perspective for economics, development policy, and historical studies of African modernisation and globalisation.
