His first book, “Compensatory Trade Strategy: How to Fund Import-Export Trade and Industrial Projects When Hard Currency is in Short Supply,” was written to address the trade and industrial financing deficiencies hampering aggressive economic
development in African countries using compensatory trade techniques such as offsets, direct compensation, and evidence accounts. As African countries embrace the importance of deploying an all-of-the-above strategy for development and intra-African trade, “Compensatory Trade Strategy” will be a good reference for policymakers. And now, “Unleashed: A New Paradigm of African Trade with the World” addresses the root cause of “competitive ineptitude,” an unwillingness to mix it up in the global marketplace of goods and services, which is the preeminent damming agent of initiatives by African leaders.
