The principal factor that accounts for this failure is the prolific non-productive forms of capitalism that tend to be dominant in the African continent and their governance dimensions. The research explores how and why capitalism has failed in the African context and the feasibility of turning it around. The book meets the demands of diverse audiences in the fields of International Political Economy, Development Economics, Political Science, and African Studies. The author adopts an unconventional narrativist approach that makes the book amenable to general readership. Kenneth Omeje is Director of Manifold Crown Consulting Services based in Bradford, UK, and Visiting Professor at the Institute of Peace and Security Studies in Addis Ababa University, Ethiopia. 410 0$aInternational Political Economy Series,$x2662-2491 606 $aEconomic development 606 $aEconomics 606 $aPolitical science 606 $aInternational economic relations 606 $aAfrica$xHistory 606 $aAfrica$xPolitics and government 606 $aDevelopment Studies 606 $aPolitical Economy and Economic Systems 606 $aGovernance and Government 606 $aInternational Political Economy' 606 $aAfrican History 606 $aAfrican Politics 615 0$aEconomic development. 615 0$aEconomics. 615 0$aPolitical science. 615 0$aInternational economic relations. 615 0$aAfrica$xHistory. 615 0$aAfrica$xPolitics and government. 615 14$aDevelopment Studies. 615 24$aPolitical Economy and Economic Systems. 615 24$aGovernance and Government. 615 24$aInternational Political Economy'. 615 24$aAfrican History. 615 24$aAfrican Politics. 676 $a338.04096 676 $a330.122096 700 $aOmeje$b Kenneth C.$01094353 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910495154903321 996 $aThe failure and feasibility of capitalism in Africa$92834330 997 $aUNINA
