Unlocking African economic stability and prosperity with Africonomics
Support Our Work
HOME OF AFRICONOMICS
Welcome to the Afrindependent Institute, where we pave the way for integrated, stable, prosperous African economies with Africonomics. We are a nonprofit and non-partisan organization whose fundamental purpose is to develop and promote Africonomics, the African approach to economics, jurisprudence, and other social sciences based on a natural-moral law philosophical framework.
Our Vision
We envision free, just, and prosperous African societies.
We envision a transformed and dignified Africa where people's natural rights [life, liberty, and (self and property) ownership] are respected, and people live free from repressive and confiscatory policies. We pave the way to this future by developing and promoting Africonomics.
Western statist models, technical assistance, and development aid have inflicted and continue to inflict severe economic, social, cultural, moral harm on African nations. Africonomics presents a fundamentally different paradigm and a new path forward.

PIONEERING AFRICONOMICS
Advancing integrated, stable, and thriving African economies.
The state-directed technocratic approach to economic development has proven unable to foster stable and prosperous African societies. The statist and socialist systems adopted during the postcolonial era have led to authoritarian governance, pervasive corruption, monetary turmoil, and economic stagnation.
Africa must shift its philosophical outlook and embrace Africonomics to break free from the destructive cycle of oppression, debt crises, inflation, poverty, and dependence perpetuated by Western statist models.

Our publications includescholarly papers, commentary articles, policy briefs, and other materials to influence African public opinion and policy decisions toward Africonomics.
The Nilar Model
For achieving integrated, stable, and prosperous African economies.
Free Enterprise
Afrindependent advocates for a free enterprise system because it is morally superior to the statist/socialist approach adopted in the postcolonial era, which is characterized by centralized systems of bureaucracy, coercion, and repression.
Since the statist approach was clearly proven repressive and ruinous, African economies would benefit tremendously by transitioning to a free-enterprise system through AfCFTA to achieve integrated, stable, and thriving African economies.
Free Trade
The AfCFTA is a remarkable achievement and a crucial step forward in the right direction. Free enterprise and free trade have long been integral components of Africa’s economic heritage, dating back centuries before the colonial era. Free enterprise and free trade are indigenous, not foreign, to Africa.
Afrindependent calls on African leaders to dismantle the numerous artificial barriers that suppress savings, investment, free enterprise, and free trade within and among African societies. This action is vital in paving the way to integrated, stable, and thriving African economies while fostering genuine peace, fraternity, and collaboration among African people.
Sound Monetary System (i.e. the nilar)
The nilar, a gold currency system designed for African societies, is the backbone of the economic model Africonomics presents for achieving integrated, stable, and prosperous African economies.
The monetary history of postcolonial Africa can be summed up in three words: chaos and ruination. The era of central bank-managed fiat currency systems under the fiat dollar standard has caused much turmoil and poverty in Africa. Instead of pinning hopes on a speculated BRICS currency, African economies should transition from unjust and ruinous fiat currency systems to the nilar, an entirely sound monetary system.
This monetary shift is essential, as the nilar provides a much-needed stable and trustworthy single currency to achieve integrated, stable, and prosperous African economies.
