Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - Economic performance cannot just be about gdp grow

Another brilliant  submission  on economics after john  onyeukwu  on this platform  June 16 2026 .he was actually  commenting  on the IMF report  June 9 on Nigeria reforms  a paradox  he calls it.  This report  of a road map  beyond Growth to eradicate  poverty was on June  10 2026.

There are two words here. "Stability"  and "Growth. "

John Onyeukwu  seems to have the word  "Stability " as compared  to Joseph  stiglitz et al  who have settled for the word  "Growth "

Otherwise  they are clearly  on the same page. As far a poverty  or cost of living crisis  is concerned. 

here are the words of the Economists Stiglitz as follows:

 Poverty and inequality are not accidents; they are predictable outcomes of policy choices: how we design tax systems, regulate labour markets, value care, structure public services and decide whose needs and whose voices matter. Crucially, if governments can manufacture poverty, they can also dismantle it.
