This booklet is an initial, exploratory attempt to articulate an Afrikan centred economic paradigm that can inform economic policy and practice from the grassroots right up to the national level. As such it is brief, introductory and incomplete.
The aim is to stimulate a debate and reconsideration of our understanding of economics, particularly for those Afrikans; like the author, who believe that we need authentically Afrikan solutions to solve Afrikan problems, but who have often found themselves short of the necessary theoretical tools to shape practical community action.
This booklet is designed to begin the process of freeing Pan-Afrikanists from the intellectual stranglehold of proponents of capitalism and socialism as the only alternatives for Afrikan economic development.
