Dr Maxwell Among at the Youth Economic Forum 2026 Entrepreneurship has taken on a cinematic quality in the digital era. It is depicted through curated images, condensed into motivational slogans, and narrated with a tone of inevitability. Passion, resilience, and self-belief are portrayed as the only prerequisites for success. Growth seems linear. Recognition appears well-earned. Visibility is often equated with value. Yet economic reality is seldom so symmetrical. At the Youth Economic Forum 2026, I chose to examine this tension. Not to discourage ambition, but to place it within a more disciplined framework. Because the question confronting Africa’s young entrepreneurs…

This reality is reflected in how both the NLC/PP and the (P)NDC/NPP political traditions have managed Ghana’s political economy in ways that ultimately benefit the United States, its NATO allies, and apartheid Israel, often at the expense of the wider Ghanaian society. Are the commanding heights of our national economy not dominated by companies originating from the very nations whose intelligence and security networks collaborated to undermine and overthrow the Nkrumah government on 24 February 1966?The truth hurts because the betrayal by…
