Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For a long time, economic research on Africa was not seen as a profitable venture intellectually or professionally-few researchers in top-ranked institutions around the world chose to become experts in the field. This was understandable: the reputation of Africa-centered economic research was not enhanced by the well-known limitations of economic data across the continent. Moreover, development economics itself was not always fashionable, and the broader discipline of economics has had its ups and downs, and has been undergoing a major identity crisis because it failed to predict the Great Recession. Times have changed: many leading researchers-including a few Nobel laureates-have taken the subject of Africa and economics seriously enough to devote their expertise and creativity to it. They have been amply rewarded: the richness, complexities, and subtleties of African societies, civilizations, rationalities, and ways of living, have helped renew the humanities and the social sciences-and economics in particular-to the point that the continent has become the next major intellectual frontier to researchers from around the world. In collecting some of the most authoritative statements about the science of economics and its concepts in the African context, this lhandbook (the first of two volumes) opens up the diverse acuity of commentary on exciting topics, and in the process challenges and stimulates the quest for knowledge. Wide-ranging in its scope, themes, language, and approaches, this volume explores, examines, and assesses economic thinking on Africa, and Africa's contribution to the discipline. The editors bring a set of powerful resources to this endeavor, most notably a team of internationally-renowned economists whose diverse viewpoints are complemented by the perspectives of philosophers, political scientists, and anthropologists.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A popular myth about the travails of Africa holds that the continent's long history of poor economic performance reflects the inability of its leaders and policymakers to fulfill the long list of preconditions to be met before sustained growth can be achieved. These conditions are said to vary from the necessary quantity and quality of physical and human capital to the appropriate institutions and business environments. While intellectually charming and often elegantly formulated, that conventional wisdom is actually contradicted by historical evidence and common sense. It also suggests a form of intellectual mimicry that posits a unique path to prosperity for all countries regardless of their level of development and economic structure. In fact, the argument underlining that reasoning is tautological, and the policy prescriptions derived from it are fatally teleological: low-income countries are by definition those where such ingredients are missing. None of today's high-income countries started its growth process with the "required" and complete list of growth ingredients. Unless one truly believes that the continent of Africa-and most developing countries-are ruled predominantly if not exclusively by plutocrats with a high propensity for sadomasochism, the conventional view must be re-examined, debated, and questioned. This volume-the second of the ^lOxford Handbook of Africa and Economics-reassesses the economic policies and practices observed across the continent since independence. It offers a collection of analyses by some of the leading economists and development thinkers of our time, and reflects a wide range of perspectives and viewpoints. Africa's emergence as a potential economic powerhouse in the years and decades ahead amply justifies the scope and ambition of the book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book has been compiled bearing in mind a variety of needs from business peoples that practice small scale business and the language and style of the book is consciously made simple so as to effectively cater for the multiplicity of interest groups highlighted. I must add here that the bulk of materials in this book had come in the main from a compilation of field surveys and Focus Group discussions, Interviews, questionnaire and literature reviews on the subject matters. The field of economics is wide and characterized by tortuous terrain. Although there are several texts and publications in economics, books which focus on the adaptation of economics principles to the entrepreneurship system are not very common. Traders, government, students of economics and business management therefore face the trauma of adapting principles of entrepneurship to economic systems. These gap which this present book along with its precursors attempt to bridge. In order to fulfill this objective, the structure of the book is design to present an expose of entrepreneurship principles and small scale business.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a critical review of the theory and practice of development in Africa during the period 1965-1994. The author identifies six leading issues in African development: economic reform; democratization; environmental degradation; poverty reduction; indebtedness; and civil strife. By way of addressing these leading issues, Dr. Deng calls for the formulation of an African model of sustainable development, which would ensure consistency between development policy and African thought, heritage and institutions. Deng proposes on integrative African model of sustainable development, which consists of four key elements - consensual democratic system of governance; agriculture-led economic growth; social integration; and ecological harmony.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Philosophy and African Development: Theory and Practice appraises development in a holistic manner. It goes beyond the usual measurement in terms of economic achievement and widens the scope to include the impact that history of ideas, political theory, sociology, social and political philosophy, and political economy have had on development in Africa. It is a departure from the traditional treatment of development by economists who point towards the so-called time-tested assertions and recommendations for 'sustainable development', but which are yet bring about significant change in the economies of the so-called 'developing' societies. It is on account of the failures of the economic development theory, with its tepid prescriptions for 'sustainable development' and 'poverty reduction' that theories of development have now been expanded from mere economic analysis to include considerations of history, sociology, political economy and anthropology, as could be discovered in this book. Most of the contributions in this book have been prepared by philosophers across Africa and the United States who implicitly practise their discipline as one whose most effective modern function would be to appraise the human experience in all its dimensions from the standpoints of modern social and natural sciences, all disciplinary offspring of philosophy itself. With chapters ranging from issues of modernity and religious interpretations, the human right to development, the idea of 'African time', the primacy of mental decolonisation, and the type of education offered in Africa today and as a tool for development, to development planning, science, technology and globalisation, as well as issues of post coloniality among others. The tenor of the contributions is not only proportional, but also engaged in the meta-analysis of the theories on which the concept of development is founded and practised. This book is strongly recommended as a useful text in the hands of scholars, researchers and students of development studies. It approaches the important issue of African development from the broad perspective of the social sciences in general, and buttresses this with the keen analytical approach of its contributors.

This book was released on 2020-07-09 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the only work in existence that explains the method by which all of Africa can be industrialized in the relatively short term. This work is therefore an indispensable guide to all those serious about the urgent concern of developing Africa. In doing so, this work relies on the "physical economic science" developed by Lyndon LaRouche. It develops the LaRouchian concepts of the "increase of relative potential population density," "energy-flux density," "division of labor," changing "compositions of capital" in development, "minimum and maximum" required to sustain an existing platform, and what is required to jump to a higher "economic platform," and more. The "four laws" that Lyndon LaRouche developed to solve the global financial crisis starting with the U.S., which are bank separation, sovereign credit, infrastructure, and the science driver principle are all applied to the development of Africa. From LaRouche's science of physical economy, the key problems hindering the development of Africa are located, both currently and historically, and the basic solutions and pathways are discussed that are necessary for the rapid industrialization of Africa. Included in this work is a discussion of the current genocidal intent for Africa by the former colonial powers, who still control Africa financially, and who are using the code words "sustainability" and ecology" to prevent economic development in order to prepare Africa for mass Neo-Malthusian depopulation. All of this is discussed in the context of the current financial disintegration of the colossal debt structures of the international financial system currently centered primarily In the City of London and its "off-shore" jurisdictions, along with indications internationally of the discussion for a "New Bretton Woods" financial architecture to replace the disintegrating "floating exchange" system.

This book was released on 1998 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first principle of public health practice is defined as the identification of the root cause or causes of all health problems, from the diseased individual to the effects on that individual of family, social, community, national, global, environment and other factors. The second principle is defined as the utilisation of the resources of the community, the nation and the world to effect a lasting and, often, a cheaper solution to health problems. This comprehensively revised and updated edition of the first volume provides a ready source for principles and practice, and more practical advice than the first edition which did not fully cover all the aspects of a comprehensive public health practice. The contributors are all practitioners, and the emphasis throughout is to bring out the principles involved in identifying the root causes of all types of health problems, and discovering practical and innovatory solutions for them in ways best suited to African countries.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The depletion of South Africa’s (and in some cases the world’s) natural resources and the degradation of environmental sinks (including the atmosphere, lakes and rivers, and land) are continuing at such a rate that natural resource prices are climbing and many critical ecosystem services that underpin human welfare are increasingly threatened. The concept of the ‘green economy’ has gained increasing traction in South African policy discourses over the past few years. However, in much of this discourse it is viewed in a piecemeal way as one part or sector of the economy (e.g. an industrial sector dealing with manufacture and installation of renewable energy technologies and energy-efficient equipment and appliances). In the view of the authors, ‘greening the South African economy’ requires an application of sustainability principles and practices across the full range of primary, secondary and tertiary sectors of the economy in an integrated manner. The aim of this book is therefore to apply principles of sustainability and ‘green economics’ to the entire South African socio-economic system and its major elements in an integrated and comprehensive manner.
