Lagosian is joined by Efosa Ojomo, co-author of the book, The Prosperity Paradox. Efosa discusses his background, how he met Clayton Christensen, and the motivation for the book. He explains why African countries struggle to become prosperous and why corruption is rampant in Africa. He highlights the different phases of corruption in society and what African countries need to do to lift themselves out of poverty including how to harness market-creating innovations and non-consumption.
