Abstract

The chapter sums up main issues highlighted in the rest of the book. Special focus is on how the challenges of the past four decades have in fact cost the economy. The costs have manifested for instance in terms of loss of incomes, infrastructure gaps, loss of human capital and missed opportunities in terms of growth and development of the country to sustainable levels. Featured in this chapter also is a reflection on how the country’s mixed and often turbulent experience has impacted. Also featured in the chapter are key highlights of Chaps. 4 , 5 and 6 in order to tie together the theme of turbulence which is strongly highlighted in these chapters. The chapter also winds up by exploring how the various socio-economic challenges Zimbabwe has faced over the past four decades have created a huge black hole for the economy. Inside the hole are the obstacles we have seen, in particular in much of Part III and IV. Despite all the challenges of the years, the chapter argues on the possibility of trumping the challenges which have accumulated over a long time.
