Unleashed: A New Paradigm of African Trade With the World

"Unleashed: A New Paradigm of African Trade with the World" by John I. Akhile Sr. is a book that has taken a holistic view about the issues that directly and indirectly bear on the ability of African nations to evolve strategies and mechanisms for transcendent economic growth. It takes a look back in history to review the mechanisms with which Europeans plundered the material and human resources of the people of Africa. Drawing on examples of Asia Tiger’s path to successful economies and prosperous societies, Unleashed looks into the deficiencies in both the governance apparatus of African countries; as well as the human shortcomings of the leaders of African countries that directly bear on poor policy prescriptions and follow through since independence, of most, if not all the countries. It makes tangible suggestions for new institutions and policies that will unleash the inherent potential of African countries and create permanent successes.
