First published in 1992, A Future for Africa looks at the crises plaguing the Africa’s societies and economies and argues convincingly that the problems are not insuperable, but that, though their causes are largely external, the only long-term solutions rest in African hands.
In this book, the author shows how the adjustment programmes imposed on many African countries by the World Bank and the IMF have compounded the disastrous impact of foreign debt, trade restrictions and falling export prices. Real development will only be achieved, he maintains, by returning control of Africa’s abundant resources to its people and by ensuring greater democracy and accountability in African political structures.
