In presenting Afri-capitalism and Ubuntu Business as national, business sector manifestations of a "new" Pan Africanism, the author explores Africa's "culturalist" path in engaging the international political economy. This is an African customized engagement that parallels the alternative models of China's "market-socialism" and Latin America's "21st C Socialism". All present alternatives to realist, liberal, and structuralist standpoints, inclining instead toward constructivist political economies derived from the perspectives and subject conditions of African economic histories, socio-cultures, alternative modernities, and agent-led initiatives Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Vendor-supplied metadata Subject Capitalism -- Africa Capitalism -- Nigeria Political economy.
