Hichilema traces Zambia’s journey from post-independence optimism through decades of state control, economic decline and rising debt, to the moment his administration took office in 2021 facing near bankruptcy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDrawing on his own experience – from rural beginnings and a career in business to repeated electoral defeats, imprisonment and eventual victory – he reflects on the challenges of rebuilding trust, restoring economic stability and creating jobs in a rapidly changing global environment. The book also looks ahead, examining the opportunities presented by critical minerals, regional trade, agriculture and tourism, and what African countries must do to compete in a changing global economy. Throughout, Hichilema argues that economic growth – not redistribution – is the only sustainable path to jobs and rising living standards. Direct, practical and grounded in experience, *You Can’t Share Poverty* offers valuable insights for anyone interested in governance, economic reform and the future of Africa.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"book-contributors\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"contributor-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"contributor-role\"\u003eAuthor\u003c\/span\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=Author+Hakainde+Hichilema\" class=\"contributor-link\"\u003eHakainde Hichilema\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hakainde Hichilema","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47944725627043,"sku":"9781776393503","price":300.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/7836\/3555\/files\/9781776393343.jpg?v=1785581443","url":"https:\/\/graffitibooks.co.za\/products\/9781776393503","provider":"Graffiti Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
