Abstract

This Article is an extract from my newly published book titled ‘Ethiopia: From Revolutionary Democracy to Prosperity - The Moral and Philosophical Foundations of a Prosperous Society’,Pages 108-111; 114. This monograph book, which is available for sale online via amazon.com, documents the foundation of state governance, politics, economy, education and society in Ethiopia in the period between 1991 and 2020. Narratives made in the book are organized into Six (6) parts. Within the domain of the six sections, there are thirty (30) chapters structured on diverse themes: politics, economy, ideology, philosophy, lifestyle, history and education. An extract from the book, this article reflects on the economics of prosperity. Hence, the concept of prosperity defined; the essence of prosperity discussed and the theory (teachings) and practices (development policy) in the context of prosperity was also conceptualized. Summary about the book is depicted in the annex part of this article.
