| book description |

This monograph explores the dynamic entrepreneurial landscapes of seven African nations—Botswana, Eswatini, Lesotho, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa, Zimbabwe, and the broader continent. Through vivid case studies and personal encounters, the author examines how cultural values, informal markets, and global influences shape business practices. From Dinapama Manufacturing in Namibia to livestock economies in Lesotho, and informal vendors in Mozambique and Botswana, this volume reveals the resilience and innovation driving African enterprise. Drawing on the scholarship of Léo-Paul Dana and development pioneers like Sivan Yari, it contrasts firm-type and bazaar economies, highlighting the role of relationships, networks, and mindset. Richly illustrated and deeply reflective, this book is essential reading for scholars, policymakers, and practitioners seeking to understand Africa’s entrepreneurial spirit and its place in the global economy.
