Description

A social-political discourse, for leaders and peoples of developing countries, about pressing issues they should concern themselves about, in order to be taken seriously, in the scheme of things, on the world stage. Particular emphasis is laid on the need, to start being producers, rather than just consumers of manufactured goods, letting go, of the dependence culture and aid from developed countries, putting their countries in order in the area of judicial use of their resources, ending corruption in governance and encouraging research and new thinking and creativity. The book is written in 9 chapters, each dealing with one specific area of human interaction, the current challenges faced and proposals for overcoming such obstacles, either individually by each country, or on a collective basis by groups of countries, in Southeast Asia, Africa, Middle East and South/Central America. A number of photographs, newspaper articles and statistics are utilized to buttress the arguments in the book and to highlight the need for more creative endeavours to be institutionalized. The book ends with a clarion call for both the leaders and people to wake up from their slumber and start contributing to human development.
