Africa is widely seen as the world's 'new frontier'. As the West lies battered by financial crises, Africa is seen as offering limitless opportunities for wealth creation in the march of globalisation.

Drawing on philosophy, economics and strategy, Moghalu ranges from capitalism to technological innovation, finance to foreign investment, and from human capital to world trade to offer a new vision of transformation.

In his book, Moghalu seeks to demonstrate how Africa's progress in the twenty-first century will require nothing short of the reinvention of the African mindset.
