Africa-Press – Namibia. THE Director of the Johannesburg-based Brenthurst Foundation and best-selling author, Dr. Greg Mills, recently launched his latest book entitled “Rich State, Poor State” in Windhoek.
The launch of this book was supported by the Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung (KAS) Namibia – Angola Office as partners of the Brenthurst Foundation. According to KAS, the book’s purpose is for the author to offer solutions drawn from years of fieldwork in Africa, Latin America, Asia, Europe, and the Middle East. KAS further explained that the book also seeks to chart a potential path for the leaders of the future generation.
“Mills investigates the how and why of successful or failed development endeavours across numerous continents he has visited, drawing on research from prestigious institutions and interviews with prominent global government figures, including prime ministers, presidents, and other important figures,” KAS explained.
“Rich State, Poor State” also argues that by making wiser choices, implementing appropriate policies, and possessing the determination to put them into action, the journey from poverty to prosperity becomes entirely feasible.
