The difference that ‘capitalism’ makes: on the merits and limits of critical political economy in African Studies

Stefan Ouma

Review of African Political Economy, 2017, vol. 44, issue 153, 499-509

Abstract: The goal of this Briefing is to weigh in carefully on the respective merits and limits of critical political economy perspectives in African Studies (and beyond) and to make a case for ontological and theoretical modesty. Rather than taking African capitalist societies for granted, we should unpick how particular social entities are being made.
