A Philosophy of Development in the African Context

Viac o knihe

Focusing on the unique challenges faced by African nations, the book explores the evolving philosophy of development within the continent. It critiques the influence of Western capitalist ideologies, which often perpetuate poverty rather than alleviate it. Despite economic growth from industrialization, many remain trapped in poverty, questioning the effectiveness of traditional redistribution theories. The discourse around development has shifted since the 1990s, emphasizing the need for a more human-centered approach that aligns with African values and choices.
