  • Summary

  • CG’s Professor Toby Green hosts an enlightening discussion with Samuel Adu-Gyamfi, Head of History and Political Science at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology in Kumasi, Ghana.

    Topics discussed include:

    - the impact of lockdown on the informal economy: "Preventing movement is simply taking away the lifeblood of virtually the entire country's economy."

    - the West's misunderstanding of the importance of COVID vaccines in Ghana: "It's like dropping a sugar cube in the ocean. It doesn't make sense."

    - the effect on the dependency ratio: "Those who are breadwinners have now become dependents as they are now going to depend on the government to support them." as well as the accuracy of the COVID death counts and how lockdowns actually accelerated the spread of COVID-19 due to the social architecture and built environments of Ghana.
