Nicolas van de Walle, Foreign Affairs As a senior official in the ruling regime for the last few decades, Oqubay has been one of the architects of its economic policy, and his book offers interesting insights into the leaderships ideas and motivations, especially when it comes to industry and exports.

Stephen Williams, African Business Oqubay structures this book within a broad narrative that argues that industrial policy can work and, moreover, it can work in Africa.
