Why inequality persists in Africa

SUMMARY How to explain persistent inequality in Africa and its widespread consequences of uncertainty and social costs continues to be the focus of heated debate.

Instead, stratification economics, centred on property and institutions, offers a more compelling elucidation of why stratification and inequality persist in Africa.
