What They're Saying
Critics Review
Jamaica has struggled with issues common to many small island states - high debt, low growth, limited fiscal space, and economic vulnerability arising from climate change and global economic shocks. Footprints in the Sand details how Jamaica, through disciplined and deliberate policymaking, confronted these and other issues and emerged resilient in this time defined by polycrisis. Nigel’s well-organised book holds valuable lessons for countries big and small!
Mia Mottley, Prime Minister of Barbados
Jamaica’s macro-economic indicators are the best they have been in nearly fifty years. If you want to understand the thought processes behind the economic policies that led to this achievement and that institutionalised economic stability, increased economic resilience, guided and realised economic recovery from historic economic crises and that created opportunity for Jamaicans, while pioneering ground-breaking transactions, then this book is definitely for you. Nigel’s data driven analytic approach, clear-thinking pragmatism and courageous implementation have left Footprints in the Sand, that are worthy of emulation.
Horace Chang, Deputy Prime Minister of Jamaica
