Rwanda Joins Commonwealth ~ Prosperity Club...

Great to hear that Rwanda becomes a member of the Commonwealth! And it doesn't have much to do with learning Cricket or even changing official languages to English. Nor does it have much to do with "democracy" -- as I've noted Rwandan President Kagame is quite dictatorial. But it does have to do with rapid modernization and embracing the innovation economy. What's most exciting to me is how The Commonwealth can serve as a powerful platform for prosperity -- i.e. emphasizing better business rules and effective enforcement, freer trade and exchange, developing infrastructure (certainly for landlocked states like Rwanda) and education and health, boosting investments overall and particularly in entrepreneurial energy and agriculture and mobility ventures, business-oriented growth corridors, emphasizing creativity and productivity, and more. These are exciting times for The Commonwealth generally and for African members especially! See the Commonwealth TV announcement...
