Masachs Boungou
Description
There is a widely accepted narrative that emphasizes on removing structural factors that constrain most sub-Saharan African nations to lead themselves
...
into creating economic wealth that benefits all. The reality is that this approach has not helped Africans and rather served as a roadblock towards creating economic prosperity.
In Shared Prosperity: A Path Forward For sub-Saharan Africa, Dr. Masachs presents that there is a better way for sub-Saharan African nations. He argues that these nations must embrace and practice shared prosperity through capitalist entrepreneurship to compensate for their delay in creating economic wealth that benefits all.
The main concern now is how public and private sectors, particularly the current and aspiring entrepreneurs, can integrate into their business models to evolve into capitalist entrepreneurs driven by a sense of community that thrives together. To answer this concern and how to create a culture of shared prosperity, Dr. Masachs introduces the term ‘‘Ubuntu capitalist entrepreneurs’’. This term refers to the type of capitalist entrepreneurs who build and maintain businesses that elevate others not at their expense, but for the benefit of all.
Shared Prosperity: A Path Forward For sub-Saharan Africa provides real-life examples of successful individual entrepreneurs and nations embracing this concept. It covers content on topics such as: Entrepreneurial state and society Entrepreneurial creativity under challenging times, Cultivating entrepreneurial ideas for shared prosperity creation Entrepreneurial learning from history Entrepreneurial change and challenges for youth Embracing economic shared prosperity Taking personal initiative for capitalist entrepreneurship. Unlike other books, this book doesn't emphasize various historical and current challenges that prevent these nations from creating shared prosperity. Instead, it is an optimistic work that argues that shared prosperity through capitalist entrepreneurship is a better way to create economic wealth that works for all. This book calls for urgency and responsibility for current and future generations, whether we want to be an Ubuntu capitalist entrepreneur or not. It is high time for sub-Saharan African nations to invest in this approach to create an economic prosperity of future that works for all.
