The "Washington consensus" which ushered in neo-liberal policies in
Africa is over. It was buried at the G20 meeting in London in early
April, 2009. The world capitalist system is in shambles. The
champions of capitalism in the global North are rewriting the rules
of the game to save it. The crisis creates an opening for the
global South, in particular Africa, to refuse to play the
capitalist-imperialist game, whatever the rules. It is time to
rethink and revisit the development direction and strategies on the
continent. This is the central message of this intensely argued
book. Issa Shivji demonstrates the need to go back to the basics of
radical political economy and ask fundamental questions: who
produces the society's surplus product, who appropriates and
accumulates it and how is this done. What is the character of
accumulation and what is the social agency of change? The book
provides an alternative theoretical framework to help African
researchers and intellectuals to understand their societies better
and contribute towards changing them in the interest of the working
people.
