The radical openness of the popular economy
Africa Is a Country has published a piece examining the 'popular economy', arguing that informal and grassroots economic activity across the Global South is marked by a radical openness. The article frames markets, street trading and community-based exchange not as marginal or informal remnants, but as flexible, inclusive systems that challenge conventional understandings of how economies are organised and who they serve.
Why now: Readers are engaging with a new essay that reframes informal economies as open, radical systems rather than problems to be fixed.
