Publisher's Synopsis
This book offers fresh, frank and compelling perspectives on why individuals, groups, communities and nations struggle - sometimes even in the midst of plenty. The perspective is global, the examples local; drawing heavily on examples from Nigeria, Africa and other "developing" regions of the world. It drips with fascinating facts, insights, anecdotes and logic.If you've read Walter Rodney's How Europe Under-developed Africa or Stephen Covey's The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, then you should read this book. Your views (and habits) will never be the same.
