Africa's poverty is not accidental — it is the result of deliberate policies and entrenched elites. In Architects of Poverty, political economist Moeletsi Mbeki examines how political and business leaders have shaped systems that perpetuate inequality, and calls for a fundamental rethinking of African capitalism to unlock the continent's vast potential.
Bold, uncompromising, and essential. Mbeki challenges conventional wisdom with the kind of clarity that makes this required reading for anyone serious about understanding African politics and development.
Widely discussed in South African academic and political circles. Perfect for readers of Frantz Fanon's The Wretched of the Earth and African political economy, social justice, and development studies.
A paperback (2009, Picador Africa) in Good condition.
