Page 336 note 1 Some prefer the view that while revolutionary change is just as ‘necessary’ in Africa as elsewhere, it is not at present historically possible. See, for example, Saul, John and Arrighi, Giovanni, ‘Socialism and Economic Development in Tropical Africa,’ in The Journal of Modern African Studies (Cambridge), VI, 2, 08 1968, pp. 141–69.

It will depend on the kind of development taking place and the characteristics of the high-income group.’
