Abstract: | This article explores a hitherto neglected dimension in the literature on the various development strategies proposed for Zimbabwe: development strategies not only have implications for the future class structure of Zimbabwe, but they themselves are determined by class forces, acting independently within the society. In considering possible development strategies it is necessary to examine what those class forces might be. The prime concern of this article is to discover if and where there is an embryonic indigenous bourgeoisie in Zimbabwe which may find the chance for growth. |
