George Ayittey

Description: This grab-you-by the throat speech by Ghanaian economist George Ayittey unleashes an almost breathtaking torrent of controlled angertoward Africa's corrupt leaders & the complacent populace thatallows them to thrive. Why, then, does he remain optimistic? Becauseof the new, fast-moving "Cheetah Generation," a "new breed ofAfricans" taking their futures into their own hands, mobilizingAfricans to revive the indigenous markets & institutions that haveworked for centuries. As he says: "With Cheetahs, we can take Africaback, one village at a time."
