ABOUT THIS BOOKThis book challenges Global Capitalism to live up to its promises as the best economic approach to eradicate poverty and misery from this world. In doing so, the author has looked at both the theory and the practice of global capitalism, as a result of which the author has been able to pinpoint the dilemma and the challenges confronting the developing countries in general and Sub-Saharan Africa in particular. Through his powerful analysis, based on many years of post-doctorate experience in economic development issues, the author has been able to derive a new set of policies and strategy that can improve the African economy, reduces poverty and regional inequalities; in order to arrive at a more peaceful world united under global capitalism. Given the current global economic crisis, the author has rightfully explained in this book that understanding the output and the human welfare aspects of global capitalism together with its financial, trade and environmental impact as propounded in western theory and as practiced through global-capitalist system is deemed to be urgently necessary. The following extracts from the book demonstrate the author's powerful argument. "Since every previous attempt at globalization has negatively affected Africa more than any other region in the world ... hence, the success of globalization in reducing global economic inequality and human conflict must be measured at the very least against the economic and political empowerment of Africa and its people." Page 13 "In the absence of an effective global regulatory body, which will ensure the fairness of the global financial system to all regions both developed and underdeveloped, then the success of global capitalism as the engine of global prosperity may be strongly contingent upon its ethical embodiment and its human face. If this is the case, then the existing global financial system cannot be seen purely as a financial-engineering system with rational instincts, but purely as a speculative mechanism with a high degree of uncertainty and distress. Global financial system, therefore, has a moral dilemma and not only has it failed in its moral duty, but it may continue to do so if new measures are not introduced judiciously." Pg 85

First published in 1986, this work challenges underdevelopment analyses of Africa’s past experiences and future prospects, and builds upon a very wide range of recent historical research to argue that the impact of Capitalism has resulted in economic progress and significant improvements in living standards. In marked contrast to the dependency approach, they propose that the important political and economic differences between the experiences of developing countries should be stressed and analysed. The argument is supported by a detailed look at the emergence since 1900 of capitalist social relations of production in nine different countries.

While Africa is too often regarded as lying on the periphery of the global political arena, this is not the case. African nations have played an important historical role in world affairs. It is with this understanding that the authors in this volume set out upon researching and writing their chapters, making an important collective contribution to our understanding of modern Africa. Taken as a whole, the chapters represent the range of research in African development, and fully tie this development to the global political economy. African nations play significant roles in world politics, both as nations influenced by the ebbs and flows of the global economy and by the international political system, but also as actors, directly influencing politics and economics. It is only through an understanding of both the history and present place of Africa in global affairs that we can begin to assess the way forward for future development.

Africa and the Global System of Capital Accumulation offers a groundbreaking analysis of the strategic role Africa plays in the global capitalist economy. The exploitation of Africa’s rich resources, as well as its labor, make it possible for major world powers to sustain their authority over their own middle-class populations while rewarding African collaborators in leadership positions for subjecting their populations into poverty and desperation. Middle-class obsessions such as computers, mobile phones, cars and the petroleum that fuels them, diamonds, chocolate – all of these products require African resources that are typically obtained by child or slave labor that helps to generate billionaires out of foreign investors while impoverishing most Africans. Oritsejafor and Cooper demonstrate that "primitive accumulation," believed by both Adam Smith and Karl Marx to be a process that precedes capitalism, is actually an integral part of capitalism. They also validate the thesis that capitalism incorporates racism as an organizing tool for the exploitation of labor in Africa and on a global scale. Case studies are presented on Nigeria, Cote d’Ivoire, Ghana, Liberia, Congo, Tanzania, Somalia, Angola, Namibia, Sao Tome and Principe, and South Sudan. There are also chapters analyzing the interests of Russia and China in Africa. This book will be of interest to students and scholars of African politics, development, and economics.

The classic work of political, economic, and historical analysis, powerfully introduced by Angela Davis In his short life, the Guyanese intellectual Walter Rodney emerged as one of the leading thinkers and activists of the anticolonial revolution, leading movements in North America, South America, the African continent, and the Caribbean. In each locale, Rodney found himself a lightning rod for working class Black Power. His deportation catalyzed 20th century Jamaica's most significant rebellion, the 1968 Rodney riots, and his scholarship trained a generation how to think politics at an international scale. In 1980, shortly after founding of the Working People's Alliance in Guyana, the 38-year-old Rodney would be assassinated. In his magnum opus, How Europe Underdeveloped Africa, Rodney incisively argues that grasping "the great divergence" between the west and the rest can only be explained as the exploitation of the latter by the former. This meticulously researched analysis of the abiding repercussions of European colonialism on the continent of Africa has not only informed decades of scholarship and activism, it remains an indispensable study for grasping global inequality today.
