  ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
  "Why Nations Fail" by Daron Acemoglu and James A. Robinson explores why some nations are prosperous while others remain poor. The book argues that a country's institutions, more than its geography or culture, determine its fate. It contrasts inclusive institutions, which allow broad participation and protect property rights, with extractive institutions, that concentrate power and wealth in the hands of a few. Through historical examples, the book illustrates how critical junctures can shape the institutional paths of nations, creating either virtuous cycles of growth or vicious cycles of stagnation. It further shows that even with inclusive institutions, constant vigilance is needed to prevent backsliding into extractive practices.

  Beginning in the 1970s, several scientific breakthroughs promised to transform the creation of new medicines. As investors sought to capitalize on these Nobel Prize-winning discoveries, the biotech industry grew to thousands of small companies around the world. Each sought to emulate what the major pharmaceutical companies had been doing for a century or more, but without the advantages of scale, scope, experience, and massive resources. 
   
   
   
  Biotech companies have met the challenge by creating nearly 40% more of the most important treatments for previously unmet medical needs. Moreover, they have done so with much lower overall costs. 
   
   
   
  From Breakthrough to Blockbuster focuses on both the companies themselves and the broader biotech ecosystem that supports them. It paints a portrait of the crucial roles played by academic research, venture capital, contract research organizations, the capital markets, and pharmaceutical companies, demonstrating how a supportive environment enabled the entrepreneurial biotech industry to create novel medicines with unprecedented efficiency. In doing so, it also offers insights for any industry seeking to innovate in uncertain and ambiguous conditions.

It is also, to document this history through the arts, for future generations to appreciate the invaluable power of simple and humble celebrations. Most importantly, it was to commemorate the passing of uMagogo in September of 2007. 
  There is no better way of preserving these memories, than use a youthful artist of today, to tell the stories through poetry. 
  The Masilela Family and the Extended Family of Number 43 are eternally grateful to this amazing interpretation and fitting contribution by Noluthando Buthelezi, of Soweto, who donated her time and intellect to interpret the story of Number 43 and craft 10 beautiful poems, to signify 10 Years of solid accomplishment.
