The Fastest Billion: The Story Behind Africa's Economic Revolution

From the vantage point of many in the West, Africa remains a continent of woe â€“ a place stalked by ethnic conflict, corrupt dictatorships, religious strife, war and famine.
But today, at last, the flawed mythology that treats Africa as a homogenous disaster area is being challenged by investors, economists, fund managers and academics. Age is not often associated with speed; but Africa, the cradle of civilisation, now has more of the worldâ€™s fastest-growing economies than any other. After a generation of relative stagnation in the late 20th Century, many in Africa have begun the long-awaited period of catch-up with the developed world. The bottom billion is becoming the fastest billion.
This book, the work of a group of African economists and highly respected analysts from Renaissance Capital, the leading emerging markets investment bank, aims to accelerate the worldâ€™s realisation that Africa has no intention of allowing the coming decades to add up to an â€œAsian Centuryâ€.
