Why does Africa, a continent so rich in resources, continue to struggle with poverty? In this episode of The Amanda Show, I sit down with Lawrence Freeman, a Political and Economic Analyst for Africa with nearly 40 years of experience, to uncover the real reasons behind poverty on the continent.
From the legacy of colonialism and neocolonial structures like the IMF and World Bank, to the opportunities and challenges of today’s multipolar world, we explore the systemic forces that have shaped Africa’s economic trajectory. Lawrence Freeman also shares practical solutions—highlighting the urgent need for electricity, railroads, and infrastructure—to unlock Africa’s true potential and secure a prosperous future.
This is not just a conversation about problems; it’s a roadmap for change.
