Opis

A rare and timely intervention from Kingsley Chiedu Moghalu, deputy governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, on development in Africa. To many, Africa is the new frontier. As the West lies battered by financial crisis, Africa is seen as offering limitless opportunities for wealth creation in the march of globalization. But what is Africa to today's Africans? Are its economies truly on the rise? And what is its likely future? In this pioneering book, leading international strategist Kingsley Moghalu challenges conventional wisdoms about Africa's quest for growth. Drawing on philosophy, economics, and strategy, he ranges from capitalism to technological innovation, finance to foreign investment, and from human capital to world trade to offer a new vision of transformation. Ultimately he demonstrates how Africa's progress in the 21st century will require nothing short of the reinvention of the African mindset.

Recenzje

'Kingsley Moghalu approaches Africa as "last frontier" with the perspective of a savvy Sheriff. A distinguished international career in which he worked on questions of good corporate governance prepared him, as this book details, to tackle a similar agenda at home' Mark Malloch-Brown
