Wavinya Makai
Wavinya Makai is a Pan‑African political economy writer and public intellectual examining how global capitalism shapes inequality, sovereignty, and dignity across Africa. She holds an MPhil in Development Studies from the University of Cambridge and a degree in International Relations from the University of Nairobi, grounding her work in both rigorous scholarship and lived African experience. She is the author of Capital Violence: The Economic War on African Dignity, a field‑level critique of debt, aid, and financial power that positions Africa as an early warning system for the crisis of democratic capitalism. Makai’s work bridges policy, media, and civic dialogue, and she is a sought‑after voice in global conversations on development, power, and economic justice.
