This collection of essays on African socialism is a blueprint for the pragmatics of self-governance that should be implemented throughout Africa and beyond. It is an ideology that speaks against reliance on external aid for the purpose of national development. Nyerere's confidence in the collective wisdom of Africans is a recipe for success for all developing countries if judiciously implemented. This is a masterpiece on endogenous self-development that should be recommended reading for all students and professors of political economy in institutions of higher education throughout the world.
