A heartfelt and funny story about curiosity, growing up, and the lessons we learn along the way

Okogwu T: You've Got This, Little
Pangolin

You've Got This, Little Pangolin

Introduces a data-driven framework for measuring governance through a fourteen-component Macro-Governance Index, demonstrating its strong predictive power for national development outcomes and offering practical tools to diagnose governance gaps and guide policy interventions.
Every year, governments borrow trillions, spend billions on development programs, and publish volumes of economic statistics-yet no widely accepted framework exists for answering a deceptively simple question: is governance actually working? Traditional approaches rely on subjective expert assessments or narrowly focused indices that measure inputs rather than outcomes. Macro-Governance Theory proposes that governance can be measured with the same empirical rigor we bring to medicine, engineering, and economics-and that doing so is essential if citizens and policymakers are to hold institutions accountable for results. 

Drawing on 26 years of publicly available data across 170 countries, the book constructs the Macro-Governance Index (MGI)-a fourteen-component composite spanning infrastructure, connectivity, financial inclusion, human capital, security, institutional quality, and economic integration. The MGI correlates with the UN Human Development Index at r = 0.97, and this relationship is not driven by income alone: controlling for GNI, the framework retains substantial independent predictive power, confirming that governance infrastructure-not just wealth-determines whether nations deliver well-being to their citizens. 

The book reveals patterns that conventional measures miss. Novel metrics for credit access and household-level financial reach show that the effective economic gap between the Global North and Sub-Saharan Africa is approximately 70× rather than the 53× that standard income comparisons suggest-a hidden disparity with profound implications for development policy. A governance simulation framework models how investments in one dimension cascade through others, enabling policymakers to identify the highest-leverage interventions for their country's specific development stage. 

Seven detailed case studies-Singapore, Rwanda, Estonia, Botswana, Chile, Costa Rica, and Lebanon-demonstrate how the framework diagnoses governance strengths and weaknesses in practice. An analysis of the ten fastest-rising nations reveals that while successful governance strategies differ radically across political systems, they share common patterns in infrastructure sequencing and institutional development that the MGI captures and quantifies. 

Designed for dual utility, the book serves as an analytical framework for researchers and policymakers and as an accessible assessment tool for citizens through the companion website grademygovernment.com. A full reproducibility dataset covering all 170 countries across seven benchmark years is included, making this not just an argument for governance science but its working prototype.

LONGLISTED FOR THE FT BUSINESS BOOK OF THE YEAR 2026 'One of the most original and important books on Africa in years' FINANCIAL TIMES 'A compelling case for the continent's potential' Bill Gates The birth of new nations, independent democracies, the unprecedented growth of cities from Lagos to Cairo; the African continent is booming. So why do myths about underdevelopment, unproductive land and overpopulation remain? In a groundbreaking new study of Africa's developmental history, economist Joe Studwell debunks long-held views about the continent's presumed resistance to growth, charting monumental changes in government, demography and asset management. Considering everything from settler colonialism to soil conditions, mineral extractivism to disease development and eradication, Studwell persuasively argues that the seizing back of land, people and states across Africa, has also been the seizure of mass economic development. From slavery to independence and beyond, this is the definitive account of the world's second largest continent - and an optimistic look to its future.

Success and Failure on the World's Last Developmental Frontier: Longlisted for the FT Business Book of the Year

How Africa Works

In the mid-2020s many would agree that the world needs to be very different from the way it is now. For Christians this raises afresh the question of mission - what kind of effect is their faith intended to have? This book attempts an answer by considering the Spirit of God as the primary agent of mission and exploring what this means for ecumenism and evangelism. It reckons with destructive forces yet finds hope for transformation in the call to mission.
*In the last decade or so, Kenneth Ross has emerged as a major voice in the area of ecumenical mission theology. These pages, written in his careful, elegant, and insightful style, let readers hear that voice clearly and powerfully, and to recommit themselves to mission and unity in today's violent and troubled world."
Stephen Bevans, SVD
Louis 1. Luzbetak, SVD Professor of Mission and Culture, Emeritus Catholic Theological Union, Chicago
"Through profound research and discerning analysis, this book orients us to the contemporary understanding of mission as the action of the Spirit of God. It is also an urgent call for our faithful participation in this mission. A must-read for everyone with ecumenism and evangelism at heart."
Dr. Ming-Chu Natalie Lin, Moderator, Council for World Mission

Routledge Research in Finance and Banking Law

This book comprehensively analyses financial technology law and regulation in Africa and provides domestic and regional perspectives on regulating FinTech in Africa. It studies policy considerations that can assist African policymakers in facilitating a balanced regulatory approach that does not stifle financial innovation.The growth of financial technology in Africa presents huge opportunities for inclusive growth on the African continent. Digital finance, which sits at the heart of financial technology, could be key to placing Africa back on the economic recovery trajectory after the COVID-19 crisis, facilitating its speed in achieving the UNSDG 2030 goals and setting the continent on course to meet its African Union Agenda 2063. This book:- Examines mobile financial services, crowdfunding, crypto-assets, digital currencies including central bank digital currencies, decentralised finance and open banking and finance, all from an African perspective;- Explores the status of regulation in these areas in Africa, highlighting areas where regulation is lacking, inadequate and in need of reform;- Highlights pragmatic approaches to regulation such as including the adoption of regulatory sandboxes and regulatory technology and discusses requirements for the adoption of supervisory technology in Africa;- Scrutinises the implications of developments in the FinTech space in Africa for international security and economic and financial stability.Placing Africa in the global context, the book argues for an international effort to understand the global dimensions of FinTech developments so that robust and applicable global regulatory frameworks can be applied in developing parts of the world. It will provide useful insights to investors, policy makers and entrepreneurs. It will also be essential reading for students and researchers in the field of technology, public policy, regulatory policy, financial policy, banking, and finance law.

ORWELL PRIZE FOR POLITICAL WRITING FINALIST 2026LONGLISTED FOR THE 2026 MOORE PRIZE FOR HUMAN RIGHTS WRITING'A tale of rapacious colonialism, Cold War spy games, dazzling technical innovation, big business rivalry, big power geopolitics [...] an unflinching, landmark work on the nature of extractive capitalism' Patrick Radden Keefe'Joseph Conrad called colonial ventures in Africa "the vilest scramble for loot that ever disfigured the history of human conscience". After reading this book you might want to add the words "until now"' The TimesHow we became addicted to a supply chain that wreaks havoc across the globe.Epic, shocking, and deeply reported, The Elements of Power tells the story of the war for the global supply of battery metals - essential for the decarbonization of our economies - and the terrible, bloody human cost of this badly misunderstood industry.Congo is rich. Swaths of the war-torn African country lack basic infrastructure, and, after many decades of colonial occupation, its people are officially among the poorest in the world. But hidden beneath the soil are vast quantities of cobalt, lithium, copper, tin, tantalum, tungsten, and other treasures. Recently, this veritable periodic table of resources has become extremely valuable because these metals are essential for the global "energy transition"-the plan for wealthy nations to wean themselves off fossil fuels by shifting to sustainable forms of energy, such as solar and wind. The race to electrify the world's economy has begun, and China has a considerable head start. From Indonesia to South America to Central Africa, Beijing has invested in mines and infrastructure for decades. But the U.S. has begun fighting back with massive investments of its own, as well as sanctions and disruptive tariffs.In this rush for green energy, the world has become utterly reliant on resources unearthed far away and willfully blind to the terrible political, environmental, and social consequences of their extraction. If the Democratic Republic of the Congo possesses such riches, why are its children routinely descending deep into treacherous mines to dig with the most rudimentary of tools, or in some cases their bare hands? Why are Indonesia's seas and skies being polluted in a rush for battery metals? Why is the Western Sahara, a source for phosphates, still being treated like a colony? Who must pay the price for progress?With unparalleled, original reporting, Nicolas Niarchos reveals how the scramble to control these metals and their production is overturning the world order, just as the global race to drill for oil shaped the twentieth century. Exploring the advent of the lithium-ion battery and tracing the supply chain for its production, Niarchos tells the story both of the people driving these tectonic changes and those whose lives are being upended. He reveals the true, devastating consequences of our best intentions and helps us prepare for an uncertain future. If you have ever used a smartphone or driven an electric vehicle, you are implicated.
