A conceptual crisis that is welcome.
The current debate concerning the evolution of capitalism in Africa is between those who consider it to be a long term and specific evolution and those who, comparing it implicitly to its western model and conclude that there is a lack of capitalist investment and state rationality.
In fact there is a logic to the African political system, based on the political expropriation of the masses, first peasants then urbanites.
The decisive question within African studies seem to be that of political and capitalist accountability of the dominant classes. All the evidence points towards the reproductive function of the state. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
