Pathways To Africa’s Economic Development Rebound: From Poverty To Prosperity is a narrative about Africa. It is the outcome of a long-term desire to find credible answers to the question: Why are we so poor in Africa and what can we do to achieve prosperity?

Africa is undoubtedly the poorest continent in the world. Unfortunately, the trend has continued to go in the wrong direction for many decades, long after Africa’s independence from Europe. Volume 1 of this book provides the much-needed linkages between Africa’s historical experiences and the major factors (both internal and external to Africa) that produced Africa’s current economic development state of affairs. Volume 2 traces the origin of economic and industrial development from Britain and the unique development experiences of major Western and Asian nations with advanced economies.

From agricultural transformation to the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th industrial revolutions, a successful development path has been made by the forerunners. Africa has a window to rebound from poverty to prosperity over the next one or two generations with the relentless pursuit of Africa’s economic interests by the right visionary and disciplined leadership.
