The Hidden Wealth of Tanzania Martin P Mandalu

The book introduces a new approach to development thinking and practice which is thoughts provoking and leads to discussion on how our future instructors, business owners, public servants should be prepared if at all Africa is to be more innovative and industrialise while contributing significantly to the world. The proposed approach deliberates on how Tanzania and the continent can benefit from the many hidden talents and potential in the people. It argues that you (the reader) are capable of extracting values from your God given talents into tangible realities to benefit societies sustainably while preserving resources for future generations. The other themes of great interest to the international development discipline discussed in the book include: The development model that Tanzania can pursue on the road to a middle income state as it intends to industrialise Why did Julius Nyerere in the Ujamaa era include capitalist economists in his socialist government? Is Western democracy necessary for industrialisation in developing states? Which Eastern model should Africa employ for industrialisation: the Malaysian or South Korea's, why? Is Rwanda the role model for socio-economic development in Africa? How do scholars play part in economic development?
