17:37Now Playing📚🇯🇲 LIVE FROM JAMAICA | One of the highlights of today’s discussion was Dr. Nigel Clarke’s book, Footprints in the Sand: The Jamaican Economic Policymaking Experience 2016–2024.
We explored excerpts from the book, including this powerful reflection:
“We were not supposed to get this far. If you asked any observer of Jamaica’s history in the past century to describe the country’s prospects, they might well have cited the title of the late Michael Manley’s book, which summarised the structural nature of our economic challenge as going ‘Up the Down Escalator.’ But in the sixty-plus years since Independence — a significant milestone of which every Jamaican can be proud — the Jamaican people have defied the odds and have survived, flourished, and influenced the world.”
— Dr. Nigel Clarke
The quote invites us to reflect on Jamaica’s journey, the resilience of its people, and the policies and decisions that have shaped the country’s modern economic story. Whether you agree or disagree with every policy, understanding the historical context is essential to having informed conversations about Jamaica’s future.
Join the discussion and let me know your thoughts on this excerpt and what it says about Jamaica’s progress since Independence.
