“The welfare of the people is a vital elixir.\u201d<\/p>\n
This guiding principle of the celebrated economist and human rights activist, Professor Sheriffdeen Adewale Tella, forms the heart of this timely collection. Through a series of insightful essays, the authors argue for a “welfarist” approach to economics; one that prioritises social safety nets and human capital development over narrow fiscal metrics.<\/p>\n
From the necessity of diversifying away from oil-dependent mono-economies to the role of technology and gas reserves in powering a transformational economy, these chapters offer pragmatic, multi-pronged solutions to Africa’s most pressing challenges through rigorous Interrogation of the macroeconomic frameworks shaping Africa’s future.<\/p>\n
Edited by Kolawole Subair and written in honour of the distinguished Professor Sheriffdeen Adewale Tella, this book moves beyond narrow, mono-paradigmatic models to explore the intersection of pluralist economics and human welfare. It is a vital resource for policymakers and academics seeking to build a resilient, welfarist economy for the twenty-first century.<\/p>\n
