Recenzje

'African societies have too often been interpreted and shaped through the eyes of other parts of the world. This is now being challenged by African social scientists and entrepreneurs, a major result of which is the idea of Africapitalism - a form of capitalism that responds to community rather than individualistic values. How viable is this? Is it a new contribution to study of the diversity of capitalism? Will it enable African economies to break out of their dependent role in world trade and innovation? The contributors to this original and path-breaking book subject these and related questions to constructively critical attention, with implications of interest to scholars and economic and political decision makers in all parts of the world.' Colin Crouch, Emeritus Professor, University of Warwick
