It builds on classical and neoliberal capitalism rooted in private property and freedom, and argues for the presence of these elements in the traditional and modern African political systems. The author argues that while these elements are partly imported from Western capitalists, they are equally traceable in African traditional political systems. Kayange argues that African politics is marred by a conflict between embracing capitalism and freedom (individualism), on the one hand, and socialism founded on African communitarianism and communist ideas, on the other. This conflict has affected policy development and implementation, and has significantly contributed towards the socio-economic and ethical crises that are recurrent in most of the African countries. 606 $aPhilosophy, Modern 606 $aPolitical science$xPhilosophy 606 $aEthnology$zAfrica 606 $aCulture 606 $aAfrica, Sub-Saharan$xHistory 606 $aAfrica$xPolitics and government 606 $aAfrican literature 606 $aPhilosophical Traditions 606 $aPolitical Philosophy 606 $aAfrican Culture 606 $aHistory of Sub-Saharan Africa 606 $aAfrican Politics 606 $aAfrican Literature 615 0$aPhilosophy, Modern. 615 0$aPolitical science$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aEthnology 615 0$aCulture. 615 0$aAfrica, Sub-Saharan$xHistory. 615 0$aAfrica$xPolitics and government. 615 0$aAfrican literature. 615 14$aPhilosophical Traditions. 615 24$aPolitical Philosophy. 615 24$aAfrican Culture. 615 24$aHistory of Sub-Saharan Africa. 615 24$aAfrican Politics. 615 24$aAfrican Literature. 676 $a338.96 676 $a100 700 $aKayange$b Grivas Muchineripi$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0866397 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910409998003321 996 $aCapitalism and Freedom in African Political Philosophy$92057280 997 $aUNINA
