Traditional African Economies in Conflict With Western Capitalism
Mission Studies, 1997Co-Authors: Christoff M. PauwAbstract:This article analyzes some of the fundamental differences between the two economic systems which have come into conflict with one another in sub-Saharan Africa: traditional African economies, based on community and communitarian ownership, and Western, capitalist-oriented economics, based on individual identity and individual rights. While the dire economic conditions prevailing in Africa have elicited various strategies and programs, a unique coping mechanism is developing within African Independent Churches. This not only poses a challenge to other churches, but may also provide alternative solutions for the problems that plague African economic growth.

Traditional African economies in conflict with Western Capitalism
Verbum et Ecclesia, 1996Co-Authors: Christoff M. PauwAbstract:Traditional Mrican economies in conflict with Western Capitalism Some of the fundamental differences between two economic systems which, by and large, have come into conflict with one another in Africa south of the Sahara are analised, i e traditional African economies and Western, capitalist oriented economies. The dire economic conditions prevailing in Africa are the result, to a large extent, of a long history of exploitation and economic disempowerment particularly by Western powers. Not all the strategies and programs to counter this poverty are equally appropriate or acceptable. In the meantime a unique coping mechanism is developing, particularly within African Independent Churches which may provide some answers.

Lenin in Allah’s court: Iqbal’s critique of Western Capitalism and the opening up of the postcolonial imagination in critical management studies
Organization, 2011Co-Authors: Farzad Rafi Khan, Basit Bilal KoshulAbstract:One manifestation of the Eurocentrism present in postcolonial critical management studies is its failure to engage with Muslim critiques of Western Capitalism on their own terms. In this article we seek to address this deficiency by introducing the thought of Muhammad Iqbal (d. 1938)— one of the most influential thinkers in the postcolonial Muslim world. We do a close reading of three of Iqbal’s poems that are considered among his most representative and poignant critical reflections on Western Capitalism and its imperialistic presence in the Global South. This close reading generates the major contribution of this article which is an alternative critical narrative on Western Capitalism that is characterized by theocentrism and embodied love. We argue that this is a distinct way of critiquing Western Capitalism which allows us to better recognize the provincial (i.e. Western) character of postcolonial critical management studies.

neoliberalism and after education social policy and the crisis of Western Capitalism
2011Co-Authors: Michael A PetersAbstract:The era that began with the election of the Thatcher and Reagan governments has been dominated by contemporary forms of neoliberalism-based market fundamentalism, globalization as world economic integration and the ideology of free trade, and an attack on big government and social welfare. This book is a historical and theoretical investigation of contemporary neoliberalism in relation to education policy and its rollback of the Keynesian welfare state. It argues that education is the basis of an open society and is a social welfare right in the merging knowledge economy. Drawing on the theoretical lens of Michel Foucault's work on governmentality understood as a form of radical political economy, the book explores and critiques neoliberalism as the ruling ideological consensus. It also questions whether and to what extent its influence will continue, in the face of the destabilization of markets that followed the financial crisis and the global recession that began in 2007, in the advanced liberal economies of the United States and the European Union.
