  Andean Economies - Shaping...

  Andean Economies explores the economic paths of three key countries—Bolivia, Chile, and Peru—that make up the backbone of the Andean region. This 3-in-1 volume traces how natural resources, policy choices, and historical legacies have shaped the rise and fall of economic fortunes across these nations. From copper and lithium to agriculture and tourism, the Andes are not just mountains—they’re economic lifelines that have brought both prosperity and hardship to those who call this region home. 
  In From Prosperity to Peril, the book examines how sudden wealth from resource booms often led to financial crises and social unrest, especially in countries like Bolivia, where inequality and political tensions persist. Chile’s economic journey highlights one of the most stable and market-driven economies in South America, marked by both praise for reform and criticism for inequality. Finally, Peru’s economic evolution tells a story of resilience—how a country historically plagued by instability and poverty transformed into one of the region’s fastest-growing economies in recent decades. 
  This comprehensive overview is ideal for anyone seeking to understand the forces behind economic change in South America’s Andean corridor—where every boom comes with risk, and every crisis opens the door for transformation.

  Lessons from Past Heroes - How...

  What can be learned from black South Africans who achieved success before South Africa became a democracy in 1994? What are the challenges they faced, and how did they overcome them? And, today, how have South Africans benefited from the country's democratic system of governance?
  These are the questions Phumlani M. Majozi explores and attempts to answer in Lessons from Past Heroes.
  He traces black people's success and political activity back to the early 1900s; successful men and women who spearheaded the struggle against the segregationist, colonialist government and devoted their lives to advancing the interests of their communities. Phumlani explores the careers, challenges, and successes of people such as Pixley ka Isaka Seme, John Langalibalele Dube, Sol Plaatje and Josiah Tshangana Gumede.
  During the apartheid years, South Africa produced black men and women who overcame the odds to succeed in their fields of business, entertainment, science, and politics. They excelled in the face of an oppressive government system, and their stories should inspire every South African today.
  After exploring the history of South Africa, Phumlani delves into the present and the future; evaluating the challenges South Africans face and proposes solutions that can speed up their economic progress.
  He argues that much of South Africa's history has portrayed the majority as victims of the minority, and that the inspirational stories of those people who overcame adversity are not being told widely enough.
  These stories must be told to inspire future generations.
  If black South Africans could succeed in the pre-1994 era, what can stop them today? The answer is nothing, Phumlani writes.
  Phumlani M. Majozi is a business and macroeconomics analyst, writer and commentator on economic, political and global issues. He is a Senior Fellow at African Liberty and sits on the boards of four organisations: Chartered Institute of Business Accountants (CIBA), South African Institute of Race Relations (IRR), Social Research Foundation (SRF) and Organisation Undoing Tax Abuse (OUTA).
