Page numbers are in Sachs’s book The End of Poverty: Economic ossibilities for Our Time (New York: Penguin Press, 2005).
I have abridged a first-person written narrative that Professor Wantchekon gave me.
This section is based on an interview with Patrick Awuah by journalist Dyan Machan.
Story from chapter 6 of John Stackhouse, Out of Poverty and Into Something More Comfortable, Toronto: Random House of Canada, 2000.
The details on Roland Akosah are taken from Dyan Machan, Forbes magazine, “Ghana’s Moment,” and from background notes Machan generously provided.
Borrowed from a quote by Niels Bohr: “Your theory is crazy…but it’s not crazy enough to be true.”
