Roadmap for a joint future
By Martin Schoeller and Daniel Schönwitz
The chance of a century to end poverty, and how we can seize it. Africa does not need handouts, but positive impulses.
It is therefore high time for a paradigm shift: now Europe must invest instead of help, especially since the low interest rates offer the opportunity to make a big difference with a modest investment.
Jointly mobilising capital to build infrastructure
At the heart of the ‘Roadmap for a joint future’ is an innovative concept for jointly mobilising capital to build infrastructure.
First and foremost, Africa needs a foundation on which investment, entrepreneurship and prosperity can flourish. This book demonstrates how Europe and Africa can prevent a mass exodus to the North, establish the social market economy and form a strong economic area – in the tradition of the historic Spice Route.
In light of the climate crisis and geopolitical system competition, this is more important than ever – also for Europe. A bold vision? Yes. For now.
