This book tells a different story, one built entirely on data, on-the-ground research, and fifteen years of direct experience across the continent. It does not deal in pity or politics. It deals with numbers and names.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the book that explains, clearly and without sentiment, how a continent overflowing with resources ends up sending more money out than it receives. The mechanisms are real, the players are identifiable, and the evidence has always been hiding in plain sight for anyone willing to look.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut this is not only a book about what went wrong. It is also about what worked, where it worked, and why. If you have ever wanted to understand Africa beyond the headlines, beyond the charity campaigns, and beyond the diplomatic language, this book was written for you.\u003cbr\u003eClick the \"\u003cb\u003eBuy\u003c\/b\u003e\" button now!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James G.
