Book Review: From inequality to stratification: Obeng-Odoom's contribution to the study of inequality in Africa

Abstract

Franklin Obeng-Odoom's book should be read, both by academics working in the fields of development economics, growth, international economics, socioeconomics, and institutionalism, and by non-economists devoted to Africa. I particularly recommend the book to students, particularly those studying Africa who are from Africa. Indeed, the work is academic, by its content and its method. It is also a very good exposition, and students will be able to use the numerous presentations of key theoretical concepts and frameworks in the
field of macroeconomics, international economics, economics of the commons, economics of agriculture, institutional economics and socioeconomics. Finally, the book is intellectual, and poses challenges, but also offers perspectives for the future of Africa.
