Extraordinary periods of economic growth have rotated around the world for centuries. While each is unique, the region’s demographics, industrialization, and infrastructure development are always key. In CommonGood’s most recent whitepaper “The African Century“, we analyze how the rare alignment of these time-tested variables may be occurring right now, and for the first time, in Africa.
We’ll explore the mechanics of other periods of rapid economic development, from the post-WW II United States to China and India more recently, and compare them to what’s happening on the ground in Africa. After scrutinizing projections of Africa’s unique demography and economy, we discuss the most surprising part of all: the global investment community’s acute underinvestment in the region and its many global implications.
