![]() Iscriviti per consentire a LibraryThing di scoprire se ti piacerà questo libro. Attualmente non vi sono conversazioni su questo libro. Anyone who loves books has certainly had this happen. You buy a book and put it in the to-read pile/shelf/shelves, and for one reason or another it slips through the cracks. That happened to this book for me, but in a way I am glad, I bought it 4 years ago, and as I could go on line and see if the company were still in business and how they were doing, like having a 4 years later epilogue. I can't say enough positives about this book. It is funny, extremely readable, and more important it is about a guy who didn't just think he had an idea but instead acted on it, in a less than easy environment, and did good for the people he marketed to. I also learned far more about business and making things happen Thani ever did getting my business degree. This is a phenomenal book, that is told by the brother of the man who brought quality affordable batteries to rural Ghana, which is most of the country. This is not some charity or NGO, with people spending millions, driving around in brand new Land Rovers, and accomplishing nothing like most projects that involve Africa do. It touches on what a mess European and western guilt has done to Africa by turning it into a massive welfare state. I could go on forever about why this book should be read by everyone, but instead I will just say, Read this book! ![]() ![]() By the end of the book they've expanded beyond batteries to phone chargers and lanterns.
