A strong understanding of African economics and leadership is important when it comes to offering effective help to the people of the countries of Africa.

This group explores the different realities and perspectives of money flow, and how leadership affects it. The intended audience is someone who has very little knowledge of Africa, but wants to experience the reality that seems like common sense for Africa's people in different locations.

What does the world bank tell us about Africa's economic growth? What books and media can give us perspective? What do the individuals in Africa who participate here see on a day-to-day basis?

How can we turn these experiences into a guide that others can follow? Can there be a quick reference, or is every issue too subtle for any rules of thumb?
