Rise, Rise, & Rise of Capitalism

The Rise, Rise and Rise of Capitalism by Adebayo Lamikanra is a global appraisal of capitalism in a broad context of industrialisation, demographic explosion, two World Wars and colonialism. Capitalism came to Africa through colonisation by some European countries, notably France, Britain, Portugal and Belgium. But, as pointed out in the book, African countries are still being controlled by former colonial powers with the aid of their local agents.
