A unified innovation system theory that integrates the eradication of threats to nature with the promotion of development is critically important to advance an original pedigree and trajectory of epistemology. Africa must learn and appreciate the costs to itself from the way Europe industrialised. It can neither follow nor imitate the European pattern of industrialisation. It has to include in its own development agenda both the meeting of social needs and choosing a path of development that would not bring ecological harm in the process. The African innovation system has to evolve in a nature protecting, rather than hurting, system; in addition, social needs must be met rather than exacerbating the social inequalities path of development. 410 0$aUPCC book collections on Project Muse. 606 $aSustainability$zAfrica 606 $aSustainability$zEurope 615 0$aSustainability 615 0$aSustainability 676 $a338.064 701 $aMuchie$b Mammo$01469218 701 $aBaskaran$b Angathevar$01524756 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910786244903321 996 $aInnovation For sustainability$93765786 997 $aUNINA
