His plan included fostering tech startups, sustainable agro-processing, and biotechnology solutions to drive economic transformation.

This strategy could have significantly improved lives and reshaped Jamaica's future. Learn how this economic planning could have positioned Jamaica as a competitive player on the global stage and what lessons we can take from this visionary's plan to impact our own economic potential and growth.

He was a brilliant economist. I listened to one of his speeches that sounded eerily like the imminent economic collapse of the United States. His knowledge was suppressed. 😮
