What is Africa in Chaos about?

In A Follow-up To His Ground-breaking Africa Betrayed, George Ayittey Takes Up The Plight Of Africa At The End Of The Twentieth Century. As He Sees Countries Such As Nigeria Edge Toward The Brink Of Economic And Social Disaster, Ayittey Uses His Formidable Powers Of Analysis To Look At The Political Economy Of Africa, The Incursion Of Foreign Powers, And The Relationship Of Africa To The World Market. He Contrasts The Indigenous Systems Of Government That Existed In Africa Before The Arrival Of Europeans With The Colonial And Post-colonial Systems That Were Forced On The Country And Analyzes The Effect These Systems Have Had On Africa's Inability To Move Forward. Ayittey's View Is Dark And, As Always, His Stinging Conclusions Will Infuriate Some And Invigorate Others. Crisis Versus Lack Of Development -- Why Africa's Crises Have Persisted -- The Real Causes Of Africa's Crises -- Resolving Africa's Crises -- Africa's Heritage Of Participatory Democracy And Confederation Sultanism: Personal Rule -- The Indigenous Economic Institutions -- Statism -- The Shibboleth Of Education -- Independence And Its Aftermath -- Socio-economic Effects Of Elite Megalomania -- Postcolonial Development
