“This fascinating and simply fantastic book is a comprehensive record of Margaret Busby’s exceptional life story . . . A true trailblazer, we all walk in the deep imprints of her footsteps.” ―Bernardine Evaristo
This rare self-portrait from pioneering publisher, writer and cultural activist Margaret Busby underscores her powerful legacy and celebrates some of the people and places that have shaped her exceptional life
Margaret Busby has been at the heart of cultural life in the UK for over 50 years. From becoming Britain’s youngest and first Black woman publisher when she founded publishing house Allison & Busby, to editing the ground-breaking international anthologies Daughters of Africa and New Daughters of Africa, her many achievements are testament to her dedication to championing the lives and stories of others, particularly those throughout the world who have been marginalized by the mainstream.
With little attention previously given to her own skills as a writer, Part of the Story is a unique opportunity to enjoy her own remarkable literary output. It brings together her writings on people, places, politics and publishing, and provides a rich insight into the many elements that have contributed to shaping her life, from her childhood in Ghana to the Black writers, intellectuals, artists and activists she has worked with, befriended, supported and championed for over half a century.
“Margaret has been a cheerleader, instigator, organizer, defender and celebrator of black arts for the past 50 years . . . She helped change the landscape of both UK publishing and arts coverage and so many Black British artists owe her a debt. I know I do.” ―Zadie Smith

Discover how inclusive capitalism can restore American greatness and secure the nation's economic future for everyone
Capitalism For All: Inclusive Economics and the Future-Proofing of America by John Hope Bryant presents a revolutionary framework for rebuilding American prosperity through economic inclusion rather than division. As the founder and CEO of Operation HOPE, America's first non-profit social investment banking organization, and a former vice-chairman of the President's Advisory Council on Financial Literacy, Bryant brings decades of frontline experience empowering underserved communities.
This book addresses America's growing economic inequality and social fragmentation by demonstrating how inclusive capitalism – not exclusionary policies – can restore the middle class, revitalize the American Dream, and maintain our position as the world's leading economy.
Bryant's comprehensive analysis spans three critical sections: making the case for capitalism that works for all Americans, providing practical strategies for implementation, and charting the path forward on domestic and global stages. The book tackles everything from rebuilding opportunity ladders and leveraging technology as an equalizer to preparing for AI's impact and creating sustainable jobs of the future. With detailed business plans for America and insights into stakeholder capitalism, Bryant offers both diagnosis and cure for our economic challenges, concluding with a vision of America as a global model for inclusive prosperity.
Key insights and strategies include:
The Middle Class as America's Superpower: How expanding rather than contracting our middle class strengthens national security and economic competitiveness
Futureproofing Through Technology: Concrete plans for ensuring AI and emerging technologies lift all Americans rather than leaving communities behind
Stakeholder Capitalism in Action: Real-world examples and frameworks for businesses to drive inclusive growth while maintaining profitability
Global Leadership Through Inclusion: How inclusive economics positions America as a beacon of opportunity and strengthens our international influence
Practical Implementation Tools: Detailed playbooks and business plans for creating systemic change at community, corporate, and policy levels
Capitalism For All serves business leaders, policymakers, community organizers, and engaged citizens who recognize that America's strength lies in its people's collective prosperity. Whether you're seeking to understand how economic inclusion drives national competitiveness or looking for actionable strategies to build a more equitable capitalism, Bryant provides both the moral imperative and practical roadmap for ensuring the American Dream remains achievable for all.
