Classical Liberalism in Africa: A Manifesto

By Germinal G. Van

Classical liberalism is a political ideology that emphasizes on economic freedom and individual liberties for an individual living in a civil society. In a nutshell, it is an ideology that promulgates the extent of the freedom of man and the confinement of political authority over that freedom. However, classical liberalism, like capitalism, is perceived by the majority of Africans as a Western imported product that is not compatible with African political culture. Though, the political instability that has endured in Africa, and made it an economically ill place, is not a hazardous fact. It built up from the fact that African governments never valued the rule of law, the freedom of the citizen and the protection of private property. The purpose of this book is to explain that classical liberalism is the solution to fix the sociopolitical and economic predicaments of the African continent.
