| 520 | 1 | |a "Why have the poorest Africans yet to begin the road to prosperity in the twenty-first century? Celebrated economist George Ayittey thinks the answer is obvious: Africa is poor because it is not free. The freedoms Africans enjoyed in their traditional systems were snatched from them, first by foreign colonial powers and now by modern African leaders with similarly oppressive and confiscatory practices. As corruption, repression, and war surged, Africa's infrastructure crumbled, states collapsed, and investors fled. Instead of bemoaning colonial legacies and globalization for the myriad difficulties facing the continent today, Ayittey boldly proposes a new path for Africa - away from the constellation of vampire states and coconut republics established by Africa's elites." "Rather than continuing to use the exploitative and repressive systems that the elites imported from abroad, Ayittey urges Africa to modernize, build upon, and improve its own indigenous institutions. The economic model here is uniquely African and borrows little from the developed world. This book offers the most highly revolutionary plan ever proposed for moving Africa forward."--BOOK JACKET. | |
