Sommario/riassunto

In this book leading scholars contribute comprehensive studies of the religious movements in the late 18th and 19th centuries: the Hassidic movements in Judaism, the Mormon religion, in Christianity, and the Bābī-Bahā’ī faiths in Shī‘te Islam. The studies, introduced by the editor’s analysis of the underlying common source of this religious activity, lead the reader into a rich world of messianism, millenniarism and eschatological thought fueling the intense modern developments in the three major monotheistic religions.

Nota di contenuto

African business and capitalism in historical perspective -- Institutional change in the 1990's : economic and political reform -- Business, the African state, and globalization in the new millennium : transnational



influences and domestic responses -- Foreign investment beyond compradorism and primary commodities : the role of the global South -- From patrimonialism to profit? : the transformation of crony capitalists and bureaucratic bourgeoisies -- Going continental, going global : Africa's corporate "giants".

Sommario/riassunto

Can Africa develop businesses beyond the extractive or agricultural sectors? What would it take for Africa to play a major role in global business? By focusing on recent changes, Scott D. Taylor demonstrates how Africa's business culture is marked by an unprecedented receptivity to private enterprise. Challenging persistent stereotypes about crony capitalism and the lack of development, Taylor reveals a long and dynamic history of business in Africa. He shows how a hospitable climate for business has been spurred by institutional change, globalization, and political and economic reform.
