Guest Speaker: H.E. Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, Vice President of The Republic of Ghana Dr Ishmael E. Yamson is a long time transnational business executive. Although he indicates a level of despair at times, he is quite hopeful of Africa's prospects. His lived experience as an economist and policy advisor to Presidents, is reflected in these essays that address developmental issues from the colonial economy with those of the new states. He uses the experience of Ghana as an example and a site for an analytical perspective. He examines and writes about the issues of natural resource exploration, the oil economy, human skills and also looks at the vital factors of education, religion and the attendant attitudes to development.
