First sentence: "Africa is the world's second-largest continent, after Asia."
Description: "Who are the entrepreneurs who achieved success, wealth, and recognition in their African homelands - and how did they do it? Entrepreneur Dave Fick interviewed several hundred women and men who assumed, legally and ethically, often spectacular risks for personal economic gain and then returned at least as much as they received to their societies and nations. Their remarkable accounts yield insight into the ways in which business must be done under harsh political and economic circumstances.

We also learn unusual techniques and strategies those in more favorable milieus can use to accomplish similar feats."--BOOK JACKET.
