PK writes out of context.Between the time ofMalthus and the 20th century we had 2 World Wars one of which killed 6mJews alone .Then there have been cataclysms galore killing humans and of course China having a one Child policy and now most households have 2 kids thereby just replicating themselves. Malthus and the other fellow should be congratulated for creating an AWARENESS of a looming disaster and the world reacted accordingly .PK capitalism does not exist in its pure form anywhere.It failed a long time ago.We have mixed economies everywhere .Do you see the Greeks refusing austerity ? All books reflect happenings in their times and as change takes place so they become erroneous.Grow up friend

We wrote the other time that Karl Marx did not come to the conclusion that capitalism just like any other socioeconomic system will cease to exist when it no longer promote the further development of man and his civilization. We stated that the current existence of capitalism is a disease that is inflicting society. A diseased body in not the natural condition of that organism. Society is a collective of human beings, thus a social organ. We wrote that Karl Marx's most profundity discovery in the Capital is Surplus Value, which he stated is the basis for the exploitation of the proletariat. The yesterday slave who have been freed and yet deprived of the means of production and distribution is still a slave, a wage slave. The abolition of wage slavery will bring justice and happiness to every member of society. In Ghana going by the teachings of Kwame Nkrumah we are still dependent people today since we sold away our birth right, gave out our natural, and in some instances human resources to others to exploit and become rich whiles we live in debilitating poverty. Capitalism does not have a future and one of the facts is that even the terrorist chickens that it hatched against other have turned against it, which for the past 22 years it is not in position to tame.

Stop wasting your time on that idiot. He has no mind of his own. He believes, the more you digest OPINIONS of others without any analysis, the more you become a scholar. What a moron he is.
These are idiotic African losers who went to Temple University to be "handed" PhD degrees in "Nkrumahism" or Africanism or others by Molefi. The prime example is Kwame Botwe Asamoah, who came here calling himself a Professor. He was fired by University of Pittsburg. He took them to court for discriminating against him because he is an African, but the case was thrown out. Since then, he hasn't got any job with his "Nkrumahism" Phd Degree just like Kwarteng.
They are idiots. Just look at how some of the authors come here writing about what ails Ghana and Africa with their own ideas and how Africa and Africans can move forward. On the other hand, stupid Kwarteng thinks in every article, he has to quote or mention 50 useless authors. Writers here like Kofi Atta, Dr SAS, Prof Asare, SARPONG, Kofi Amenyo, Kwesi Sakyi Atta and others can think on their own and draw their conclusions on any subject they pick up. That should be the mark of a scholar. And the fact that someone has written 50 books does not mean you can't disagree with him on any of the subject. It is even stupid to think that. Recently, we have seen Michael Eric Dyson taking on his Mentor, Cornell West. Were Kwarteng to be in the shoes of Dyson, he would take every word from Cornell West as the Gospel Truth as he does with Molefi and other stupid African writers.
Do you wonder why his idiotic followers like Nii Ashitey (Okonko Palm???) have all deserted him? Don't waste your time on him. He is also a coward, who changes his moniker to insult writers he does not like.
Stop wasting your time on this idiot and concentrate on your beliefs and principles. NO writer should be "GOD" to you or above criticism. The reason why Ghana has not moved forward is because of lack of critical thinking skills or the ability to analysis issues and challenge our "big men." It has always been "chew, pour, pass and forget" with our so called "inteRRetuals," -quoting, quoting, quoting, and digesting everyting, line, hooker and sinker.

Nyansasem,
Point to one single you have published on Ghanaweb for others to read apart from your reactionary, ethnocentric, and ill-informed comments. I AM WAITING FOR THIS.
Tell you mentor Baidoo to stop quoting from others. After you have done that, tell me one single article published in the history of Ghanaweb that is original.
And if you clueless Nyansasem thinks there are original articles that have been published on Ghanaweb, I don't. To sum it up, I have not seen or read one single original on Ghanaweb.
Do you have any idea the kind of relationship I have with somebody like Kwesi Sakyi Atta?
I am surprised you put SARPONG in the same class as Sakyi Atta, Kofi Amenyo, etc? Are you sleeping? I may be wrong but is it the Ghanaweb SARPONG you are talking about?
Have you been reading what commentors got to say about SARPONG and his writings (I don't read SARPONG but do occassionally visit the comment section under his articles.
Also I have not read more than TEN of SARPONG's articles since I began writing for Ghanaweb in 2012)? Well, I better stop here. Tell me how SARPONG'S articles structurally compare with Sakyi's, SAS's, Amenyo's, Atta's, Asare?
Have you forgotten I am my own man and choose to do what I like with my intellectual resources? Are you the owner of Ghanaweb or the editor?
You whould write to the editors of Modernghanaweb, Opinionghana, Spyghana, etc., what they feel about my articles and tell them to stop publishing them if they don't like them.
And have you forgotten that I have my core readership who enjoy the sort of things I write about and my writing style? And will write to Nii Ashitey to find out the last time we communicated?
Could you go ahead and tell your readers the monikers I have been using to insult writers I don't like (PLEASE DO THIS). TELL BAIDOO WHY OTHERS HAVE BEEN IMPERSONATING ME AND PROF. LUNGU ON GHANAWEB (PLEASE TELL BAIDOO WHO THESE IMPERSONATING CHARACTERS ARE). It appears you have no clue what you are talking.
That said, you and Baidoo are as clueless as far as anyone can tell. Can't you see how I have been consistently exposing Baidoo and his lies and fabrications?
Can't see how other commentators have been exposing Baidoo and his lies and fabrications?
For your information, I (and others on Ghanaweb) have identified the right wing websites where Baidoo has been lifting his ideas and presenting them to his unsuspecting readers (including you Nyansasem) without even crediting the sources!
Nyansasem, do you care to tell readers what Cornel West said about Eric Dyson on "Democracy Now" and other places that caused Dyson to react the way he has towards West?
You might want to add in your response if there is any such impasse between me and Molefi Kete Asante! Eric Dyson did not just act out of the blue. This is the kind of thinking your mentor Baidoo is propagating on Ghanaweb. Go to this link and listen/watch for yourself what Cornel West has to say about Molefi Kete Asante.
Nyansasem, have you checked the website of Temple University, contacted the Graduate Director, the Chair, and the Dean of the Social Sciences (all of Temple University) to confirm the lies you are propagating here (just like Baidoo is doing on Ghanaweb)?
If you care to know, go back and read the comments on his others and you will see where one commentator mentions one right-wing website here your mentor lifted one of his core ideas and presented it as his own. This is is how Baidoo is fooling you and others (not me).
Have you asked Baidoo whether he think without citing others and not telling others (like me what) what we already? You will find out tonite why this Baidoo's article has nothing to do with me and has everything to do with his usual fabrications and lies!
As for Michael Eric Dyson, he has great respect for Molefi Kete Asante. Unlike Eric Dyson, Asante has been ranked among the "TOP 100 THINKERS IN AMERICA." Do you know why?
Now read this to know how much respect Eric Dyson has for Molefi Kete Asante (WHEN YOU ARE DONE READING ERIC DYSON'S SPEECH, THEN GO BACK AND IDENTIFY WHICH OF MY OVER 100 ARTICLES WAS WRITTEN UNDER MOLEFI KETE ASANTE'S MENTORSHIP; ALSO TELL ME WHICH PERCENTAGE OF THE SOURCES I HAVE CITED IN MY ARTICLES AND IN THE COMMENTS IS ASANTE'S. NOW YOU ARE TALKING BY HEART LIKE BAIDOO).
Read on (read Paragraph 5 to see the kind of scholars Dyson places Asante and you will know how by heart you guys talk):

........................................................................................................................................................
When West’s book was published, my phone service at home had been shut off because I had no money to pay the bill. There was a pay telephone outside the laundromat where I washed my clothes, and one day, instead of doing the laundry, I spent my last $5 calling West at his Union Theological Seminary office in New York City. I rhapsodized about his philosophical acumen and cutting-edge theories of race for a while, and West let on that he had heard about me from a mutual friend and encouraged me to stay in touch. I took him at his word and soon scrounged up the money to drive the 600 miles from Tennessee to see him deliver a series of talks at Kalamazoo College.
West had not yet freed himself from reading his lectures to develop the rhetorical style for which he is justly celebrated: an extemporaneous exploration of ideas that features the improvised flourishes and tonal colors of a jazz musician and the rhythmic shifts and sonic manipulations of a gospel preacher. Yet even then West mesmerized, effortlessly surfing the broad waves of Western thought, defending the notion of black humanity while laying siege to white sectarianism—proving by his own impossibly literate performance that white superiority was a lie, at least as long as his gap-toothed mouth spit out esoteric knowledge.
West and I became dear friends. I admired his penetrating intellect and he nurtured my deepening commitment to a life of the mind. West wrote a letter of recommendation on my behalf when I applied to graduate school in 1984 and helped me to land at his alma mater Princeton, where he had been the first black student ever to earn a doctorate in philosophy, and where I became the second black student to earn a doctorate in religion. West had a huge crush on the R&B singer Anita Baker, and I got us tickets to see her perform in New Jersey. After a brief backstage introduction to the singer I had finagled, West relived his high school track glory and sprinted up the street in glee.
As a graduate student, I arranged for West to lecture at Princeton in the late ’80s, before he was an academic superstar, and I can still remember how he inventively grappled with the decline of European domination, the rise of American hegemony, and the decolonization of Third World countries, even as he spoke of the pervasive influence of black culture in the broader life of the nation, citing Matthew Arnold, T.S. Eliot, Lionel Trilling, and Frantz Fanon as major witnesses to the trends he outlined. I had observed literary scholar Houston Baker dazzle another Princeton audience with a dynamic and dramatic lecture, but West topped that performance with the sheer breadth of his inquiry and the erudite ad-libs to his written presentation.
West’s early work was a marvel of rigor and imagination. He rode the beast of philosophy with linguistic panache as he snagged deep concepts and big thinkers in his theoretical lasso and then herded thousands of stalking students into Ivy League classrooms packed to the rafters. In Prophesy Deliverance!, West invited Foucault to sing the “insurrection of subjugated knowledges” in the black revolutionary choir. The American Evasion of Philosophy (1989) ingeniously pitched American pragmatism as a multiracial conversation that included Ralph Waldo Emerson, Du Bois, and Richard Rorty. And in Keeping Faith (1993), West gathered a slew of seminal essays on subjects like social theory and the philosophy of religion—baptizing poststructuralist thought in American waters while translating the insight of its biggest European stars with analytical verve.
At the age of 39, West catapulted to fame after struggling financially and became, deservedly, a far richer man with the publication of his best-known work, 1993’s Race Matters. It isn’t a scholarly book, per se, although its pages carry the weight of his formidable intellect as he traces the cultural dynamics of race with exquisite and uncharacteristic—for the time—lucidity. (Dense jargon was at its zenith in the postmodernist academy of the 1990s.) Race Matters changed how we speak of black identity in the United States. It gave our country a golden pun for matters of race that mattered more than they should and brought West the sort of celebrity that is intoxicating and distracting. West garnered glowing profiles in Newsweek and Time—in the same week—and explored his ideas on radio with Terry Gross and on television with Bill Moyers and Bill Maher. There was a certain satisfaction in West’s rise: One of the smartest men of his generation also became one of its most popular.

Cornel West at Princeton in 1994, the year of the publication of Race Matters, the book that made him an academic celebrity.
The intellectual landscape had shifted dramatically beneath West’s feet by the time Obama went after the presidency. The Internet and social media ushered in new voices on the nation’s most vexing problems and made room for fresh thinking on race and identity. Even as the pace of West’s published scholarship slowed, he remained a powerful cultural presence. If West’s most notable book argued that race mattered, his celebrity and iconic status meant that his endorsement also mattered.
West remained allied with Obama until he took the White House and, in football parlance, faked left and ran right. “[Obama] posed as a progressive and turned out to be counterfeit,” West complained in an interview with Salon. “He acted as if he was ... concerned about the issues of serious injustice and inequality, and it turned out that he’s just another neoliberal centrist with a smile and with a nice rhetorical flair.” It’s worth noting that the president’s actions were in keeping with the demands of his profession: Like most recent Democratic politicians, Obama nodded in a progressive direction while campaigning but toed a more centrist line when it came time to govern. What distinguishes West is that he assailed Obama’s insufficient leftism and proclaimed it a racial betrayal. “I would rather have a white president fundamentally dedicated to eradicating poverty and enhancing the plight of working people than a black president tied to Wall Street and drones,” he told The Guardian.
Long before their ideological schism, however, West believed himself personally betrayed by Obama because of his (supposed) disinterest after the election. It is a sad truth that most politicians are serial rhetorical lovers and promiscuous ideological mates, leaving behind scores of briefly valued surrogates and supporters. West should have understood that Obama had had similar trysts with many others. But West felt spurned and was embittered.
This is where Congreve’s insight on love decomposed to rage comes crashing in. West has repeatedly declared that he did 65 engagements for the presidential campaign in 2008, and was offended when the president didn’t provide tickets to the inauguration. (Obama later told me in the White House that West left several voice messages, including prayers, from a blocked number with no instructions of where to return the call, a routine with which I was all too familiar.) In a 2011 interview with Chris Hedges on Truthdig that appeared under the headline “The Obama Deception: Why Cornel West Went Ballistic,” West recalled his indignation during the Inauguration, when he arrived at his Washington hotel with his mother, and she noted that the bellman had a ticket to the event but not her son. “I couldn’t get a ticket for my mother and my brother,” West said. “We drive into the hotel and the guy who picks up my bags from the hotel has a ticket to the inauguration. My mom says, ‘That’s something that this dear brother can get a ticket and you can’t get one, honey, all the work you did for him from Iowa.’” Thus the left-wing critic found it unjust that the workingman and not the professor had a ticket to the inauguration. Only in a world where bankers and other fat cats greedily gobble rewards meant for everyday citizens would such a reversal appear unfair. J.P. Morgan might have been mad; Karl Marx would have been ecstatic.
This moment for West followed a pronounced and decades-long scholarly decline, something that did not escape the notice of other academics and intellectuals, none more notably than Lawrence Summers, the former president of Harvard, who clashed publicly with West. (West departed Harvard for Princeton in 2002.) Summers had reprimanded West for his varied side projects, everything from advising Reverend Al Sharpton’s failed presidential bid to his vanity musical ventures. I couldn’t endorse these criticisms, but I knew Summers was right when he pointed to West’s diminished scholarly output. It is not only that West’s preoccupations with Obama’s perceived failures distracted him, though that is true; more accurate would be to say that the last several years revealed West’s paucity of serious and fresh intellectual work, a trend far longer in the making. West is still a Man of Ideas, but those ideas today are a vain and unimaginative repackaging of his earlier hits. He hasn’t published without aid of a co-writer a single scholarly book since Keeping Faith, which appeared in 1993, the same year as Race Matters. West has repeatedly tried to recapture the glory of that slim classic by imitating the 1960s-era rhythm and blues singers he loves so much: Make another song that sounds just like the one that topped the charts. In 2004, West published Democracy Matters, an obvious recycling of both the title and themes of his work a decade earlier. It was his biggest seller since Race Matters.
Even a cursory survey of West’s recent work captures the noticeable diminishment of his intellectual force. Hope on a Tightrope (2008) is mostly a collection of West-ian wisdom spoken and then transcribed. The cover features West standing at a blackboard with the words “What Would West Say?” chalked again and again, like an after school punishment, a haunting hubris suggesting a parallel to “What Would Jesus Do?” His memoir Brother West (2009) is an embarrassing farrago of scholarly aspiration and breathless self-congratulation—West, for instance, deems his co-authored book The War Against Parents (1998) a “seminal text”; praises Race Matters as “the right book at the right time”; and brags that Democracy Matters sold over 100,000 copies, landed at No. 5 on TheNew York Times bestseller list, and “continues to influence many.” None of this competes with the description on West’s website of his first spoken word album, Sketches of My Culture, which claimed at the time of its release that in “all modesty, this project constitutes a watershed moment in musical history.”
Brother West was co-written with David Ritz, a writer best known for album liner notes and ghostwriting entertainers’ biographies—a sure sign of West’s dramatic plummet from his perch as a world-class intellectual. It’s one thing for Ray Charles to turn to Ritz; another thing entirely for a top-shelf scholar to concede that he can’t write for himself, or is too busy to do so. It is akin to Du Bois hiring Truman Capote to fashion his autobiography. The journalist David Masciotra called The Rich and the Rest of Us (2012), which was also co-authored, this time by Tavis Smiley, “a cover version of a hit performed better by other singers—Barbara Ehrenreich, Joseph Stiglitz, and William Julius Wilson, to name a few.” West’s latest, Black Prophetic Fire, published last year, is another talk book, this one edited by Christa Buschendorf, a German scholar who interviewed West. Last October, Masciotra reviewed Fire for The Daily Beast, and called it “a strange and disappointing culmination of [West’s] metamorphosis from philosopher to celebrity,” one that is in keeping with “his pattern of not solely authoring any books in the past ten years.” If you’re counting: That’s two talk books and two co-authored ones across a decade—not quite up to the high scholarly standard West set for himself long ago.
In Brother West, West admitted that he is “more a natural reader than natural writer,” adding that “writing requires a concerted effort and forced discipline,” but that he reads “as easily as I breathe.” I can say with certainty, as a college professor for the last quarter century, that most of my students feel the same way. What’s more, West’s off-the-cuff riffs and rants, spoken into a microphone and later transcribed to page, lack the discipline of the written word. West’s rhetorical genius is undeniable, but there are limits on what speaking can do for someone trying to wrestle angels or battle demons to the page. This is no biased preference for the written word over the spoken; I am far from a champion of a Eurocentric paradigm of literacy. This is about scholar versus talker. Improvisational speaking bears its wonders: the emergence on the spot of turns of thought and pathways of insight one hadn’t planned, and the rapturous discovery, in front of a live audience, of meanings that usually lie buried beneath the rubble of formal restrictions and literary conventions. Yet West’s inability to write is hugely confining. For scholars, there is a depth that can only be tapped through the rigorous reworking of the same sentences until the meaning comes clean—or as clean as one can make it......

Mr. Baidoo,
Don't get angry since that will not get you anywhere. Who is afraid of your anger? Are you no longer having fun on Ghanaweb? Talk to Nyansasem and he will tell you that I am not one of those to trample over. NEVER.
That is not to say I will sit by why people lie, fabricate stuff, and say things they have not clue about. If this is something you don't see as fun, then I am sorry for you. What is fun anyway? If you read my comments to Nyansasem closely, you would have noticed there was no anger on my part.
I merely wanted him to stop lying by saying the right things about Molefi Kete Asante, Cornel West, Eric Dyson, etc (you can prove Nyansasem wrong by just siting behind your computer and reading on the unsubstantiated allegations he made about these men. THAT IS MY POINT. Nyansasem can't sit behind his computer and write unsubstantiated comments on these men, like you do in your articles).
And who said you wrote that? You see how far you can go to misrepresent others you disagree with! Where in my response to Nyansasem did I imply or directly say you were Nyansasem?
This is the kind of fabricated implications and lies you have been propagating in your articles, just like you did with Noam Choamsky's quote and your little "conflict" with Jato Kaleo after he claimed you have misrepresented a statement he made. You have been doing this with most of the authors you cite in your articles.
Another example being your claim that I directly insulted and when I asked you for evidence you came back saying "subtle insults." What sort of a Machiavellian character are you? I AM STILL WAITING FOR THE EVIDENCE BACKING YOUR CLAIM THAT I INSULTED YOU.
Nyansasem can't see your misrepresentations and lies because he is not familiar with your sources!
Oh yes, I am having fun exposing your lies and fabrications and those of minions, like Nyansasem. Oh yes, I am having fun but not with unsubstantiated allegations. And who are you that I can't angry?
Do you think I am the type you can easily cower into submissions with lies, fabrications, misrepresentations, and mis-paraphrasing of authors? NO.NO.NO. I AM NOT THAT KIND OF PERSON.
I have asked him to produce evidence for his lies and fabrications, just like you Baidoo have been doing on Ghanaweb.
And why am I getting you angry? Have you not been lying, fabricating, and visiting right-wing websites and presenting facts from there as if they were your own?
Why don't you credit your sources?
Anyway if you read my response to Nyansasem closely, I merely asked him to provide evidence for his concoctions, nother more, nothing less.
Is having to tell someone to produce evidence for his allegations mean that I am not having fun? What kind of thinking is that? Is this not the kind of thinking you are exhibiting in your faulty articles?
Let me give you a good example: Nyansasem, like you, comes to Ghanaweb to tell readers about Eric Dyson's conflict with his mentor, Cornel West?
Why did he not tell his readers how the "conflict" between the two men started, with Cornel West making the first move?
This kind of flawed logic is what I see in your articles. Nyansasem talks "by heart" just like you do in your articles! Now he mentions SAS, SARPONG, KOFI ATTA, ASARE, KWESI ATTA SAKYI, KOFI AMENYO as if I am all of these men. Tell Nyansasem I will surely begin to write like his idols when I come back in my next life. For now let me just do what pleases me. Am I making you angry? Then go see your psychiatrisT!
Well, I have to drag your name into it because it is the same flawed logic you have been peddling on Ghanaweb.
Just compare my exposure of your lies and the challenges I have put before Nyansasem to resolve. He, like, Sarpong has the IP-reading software. Tell him to provide detailed information of who has been impersonating me, Prof. Lungu, etc., under Abubakar Mohammed Marzuq Azindoo's articles, etc!
Hahahahahahaa...Who are you that you can get angry with me? Hahahahahaa....Please come with something more intelligent and persuasive. This your rant will not wash with me.
Tell Nyansasem to stop talking by heart and produce evidence to support his wild lies.
Ask him to tell you to find out when was the last time I communicated with Nii Ashitey.
Tell him to give you additional information on my core readership.
Tell him to tell you how and when Dr. Molefi Kete Asante mentors as far as my articles are concerned. THIS IS NOT DIFFICULT TO DO.TELL HIM HIM (NYANSASEM) CAN EASILY GET DR. ASANTE'S PHONE NUMBER AND EMAIL ADDRESS ON THE INTERNET)....
So, you see, exposure of your lies and fabrications is getting you angry? Why? I WANT TO ASSURE YOU THAT HE CAN ONLY TOUCH MY UDERBELLOW AFTER HE HAD ANSWERERD MY QESTIONS ON ERIC DYSON, CORNEL WEST, MOLEFI KETE ASANTE, THE IMPERSONATIONS, AND YOUR LIES AND FABRICATIONS.
Until then, I can't take him serious. Please take your "Mr. Kwarteng, don't get me angry" to the dogs. Hahahahahaha...I am having fun with you and your minion and yoou are already getting angry.
Dear Readers,
I have read Mr. Baidoo's article and authored a quick rebuttal which I just sent to the editor (about a minute ago).
I was hoping the editor could publish it alongside Mr. Baidoo's.
