Description

Calderisi shows that Africa has steadily lost markets by its own mismanagement; that corrupt, dictatorial regimes have hobbled agriculture, enterprise and foreign investment; that African family values and fatalism are more destructive than tribalism; and that African leaders prey intentionally on Western guilt.

Calderisi exposes the shortcomings and indulgences of foreign aid and debt relief, and proposes his own radical solutions.

Drawing on many years of first hand experience, "The Trouble with Africa" highlights issues which have been ignored by Africa's leaders but have long worried ordinary Africans, diplomats, academics, business leaders, aid workers, volunteers and missionaries.

It ripples with stories which only someone who has talked directly to African farmers - and heads of state - could recount.
