A Neo Marxist Re-appraisal Of Kenya’s Economic Growth And Social Trends

Abstract

Kenya has suffered slow economic growth since the late seventies. The economy was on a very steady rise from independence. The switch from neo Marxist to neo liberalised economic policies has been sighted as the main cause of this economic meltdown. It is clear that Kenya thrived well under the Neo Marxist periods after independence. Many countries in the third world have suffered because of adopting the neoliberalised economic policies. On the other hand, Kenya’s peers that stuck to Neo Marxism have grown to huge economies. Is it time that Kenya reverted back these policies?
