Hello friends, I am happy to share that a new book from @inkanibooks edited by me has just been published! The book, titled Can Africans Do Economics?, examines the intersection of economic development and freedom across the Africa. Drawing on the powerful ideas of former African leaders such as Thomas Sankara and Julius Nyerere, this book explores their belief in the inseparable link between political independence and economic progress. With a powerful introduction from @vijayprashad and informed by the scholarship of economists Grieve Chelwa, @MarionOuma , @redgenkosi, @cleopas_sambo and @nssylla , Can Africans Do Economics? redefines development as a process of emancipation, not simply economic growth. Combining historical context with forward-thinking policy proposals this book presents an urgent case for transformative policies grounded in African realities, and rejecting foreign-led interventions on the continent. The book is published by @inkanibooks , a people’s movement-driven publishing house in Johannesburg, South Africa. You can order the book here: inkanibooks.co.za/product/ca… Lots of gratitude to Efemia Christiana, Inkani’s Managing Editor, for her magic touch in seeing this project through to conclusion.
