The world has been asking questions about how to get Africa out of poverty. What does it take to industrialize Africa? People believe that if politics can be fixed, then the economy will improve. As a result, government has been perceived to be the engine of economic development not only through policy, but also through funding. In Citizens' Enterprise, Chanshi Chanda argues that finances and culture are the two major problems Africa faces because politics too, reflect the kind of prevailing culture in the country. Under the market economy, it is not true that government is the big saviour. Author Chanshi Chanda argues a thinking that will help citizens shift from heavy financial reliance on government to self-help where government cannot help them. If citizens come together to raise funds and if the culture is fertile to free enterprise, Africa will be industrialised much faster than we have ever thought.
